A member asked:
Is it common for women in 30s to have denser breasts as they age & even denser than pre-childbirths? would having more baby cause even denser breasts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast density: Hi! usually breast density is greater in younger women. Once a woman goes through menopause, the breast tissue is often replaced by fatty tissue. Density after childbirth may be more related to lactation.
