Breasts feel different from each other

by Skykissedyellow, Aug 21, 2009 02:15PM
Hi,

I've noticed for years that my left breast is larger than my right one.  Also, this tissues in each of the breasts feel different from one another.  My right breast feels like it's a breast as a whole (for lack of a better explanation, it feels like one chunk of flesh); however, my left breast has a small amount of firm tissue ("chunk") and the rest is soft and squishy with smaller "chunks" of firmer tissue at the bottom.  What is more I get aches in my left breast, but never in my right.  Lastly, I had a large mole on my left breast that was very porous.  The doctor removed some of it and stated it wasn't cancerous; however, the mole looks like it's grown a slight bit and has become porous again (by porous I mean you can extract elements out of it like one would with a blackhead).  I've had two doctors perform a breast exams on me in the past few years, and both have stated that they haven't detected any signs of cancer.  With that said, any explanation for the feel of my left breast and the aches I get?  Also, any reason why the mole increased in size and is porous again?  Thanks so much!

How old are you? It's normal when one breast is larger or smaller than the other, and it may be normal what you are describing, but still, I understand your concern.

Have you ever had a mammogram? Because if not, I  would think that it would be appropriate to have one.

Again, I am not an expert about this issue per se, but I do know enough to see your point, and that  I also would not be entirely satisfied with the doctor's conclusion about the health of your breast(s).
