A member asked:

Does a fibrocystic breast feel like it has a small bb in it?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

At times yes...: Fibrocystic breast can have different characteristics- you can feel something that feels like a small "bb", a rock, a pea or just and area of irregular thicness and tenderness. However any new breast finding or change in breast warrants eval by your doctor and possibly mammogram and/or ultrasound. It is important to be assessed- so make an appointment.

Yes: In fact, it's not uncommon for the breast to feel "lumpy".
