Breast issue

My mom noticed my left breast is bigger than my right breast in a photo,  and the left breast is  bit sore and it has a thickness feel to it like its full. compared to my  right breast.  i did self exam  n my breast and  had my mom check it out as well she didnt feel any lumps she said. just a bit of thickness when i look in the mirror   the left nipple looks bigger than the right. she thinks it may be time for my monthly cycle which is true its cloe to coming on but i just wanted another oppinion. if it gets worse or discharge comes i will go see the doc. but any auggestions? i have been moody as well.

My left breast is larger than my right; doctors have told me this is not at all unusual.  It does make it hard to find a bra that fits right, haha.  Just make sure you do your self exam and have your regular mammograms if you are doing them yet.  The moodiness is just a darn fact of life and is not necessarily symptomatic of any disease.

This could very well be a hormonal thing .... actually it is rare that both breasts are the same size. If you are terribly concerned then by all means see your Dr. for a clinical exam and any testing that he/she may feel appropriate. Take care ....
