Question 1

why is one of my breasts larger than the other?

Accepted Answer

This is common: Many women notice a difference in the size of their breasts. It is not harmful.

Question 2

what could a big knot n one of my breasts b?

Accepted Answer

Breast mass: Breast masses are quite common and could be cysts, fibroadenoma or adenocarcinoma--benign or malignant. In a 35 yrs old, it is likely a fibroadenoma which is a common benign (noncancerous) mass. It is typically recommended to have a baseline mammogram at 35 (then at 40 and then every other yr 'til 50), and yearly clinical breast exam. I would suggest getting an eval by doc. Good luck.

Question 4

Question 6

is it normal for one breast to be larger, heavier, and lower than the other? i never really paid much attention before but i recently noticed one of my breasts in larger than the other? i think its always been like this, but i dont know?

Accepted Answer

: It happens. Occasionally there is a dramatic difference in the size and shape of breasts. Symmetry/uniformity of size and shape are expected but there is usually a slight difference in the two for most. If you feel the status has changed over several months it is worth discussing /evaluating the difference by your doc.

Question 7

took nuvaring out to try for a baby. one of my breasts is large and heavy overnight. i took a test and i am not pregnant. what is wrong with my boob?

Monitor: You may simply be seeing some breast changes associated with the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle. Since you have been on Nuvaring you have not experienced that in awhile. You can monitor this over the next few weeks and if it does not change schedule a visit for evaluation
