Unfortunately this isn't something you can make go away if the cause is non-specific.
I believe some studies have been done to see if a change of diet can help, however the results of these have been without evidence.
Depending on what the surgeon finds, if there is a reason for the change in density, he/she will be able to advise from there.
Best wishes
Thank you! I appreciate your information! I will update after my appointment. I not am extremely worried about cancer now that I have had a mammogram but I want to know how to make it go away!
Hi there,
Breasts certainly can change in density over time and there is a rather long list as to the reasons why - however, this becomes reduced when the changes only affect one breast.
Most of the causes are benign and include anything from hormonal fluctuations, physical trauma (i.e. Injury to the breast that causes pain and/or bruising) hormone replacement therapy and lymphatic blockage.
Increase in breast density does however, increase the risk of breast cancer so certainly follow up with your breast surgeon and he/she will be able to advise you if further tests are necessary or simple monitoring is in order.
Please be reassured in the fact that this is only a change in density, that you acted quickly in having it checked out and tested and will be in excellent hands with the breast surgeon.
Hi,
It is not unusual for breast tissue to be asymmetrical (one breast more dense than the other). Sometimes breast tissue can become more prominent during certain times in a menstrual cycle related to hormone fluctuation.
It is very hard to tell at this point if this density is an abnormality or just a natural occurrence.I have read somewhere that too much animal protein intake show higher breast density in women and that drinking white wine can increase density, while red wine can decrease it.I am not sure about that,but perhaps changing your diet might help.
I am certain the Breast Surgeon will advise you if additional views of the breast or perhaps a biopsy might be needed to reach a definitive diagnosis..
