A member asked:
17yo girl. is it normal to feel (1) thin strip of 3cm muscle, which move slightly when pressure applied during selfcheck (2) ribcage under my breasts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast check: at your age it would be highly unlikely for you to have a breast cancer however it is good to be conscious of your body. Beneath your breasts are pectoralis muscles and your rib cage, there for what you're feeling is most likely normal. Cancer is more nodular and hard, most of the time it is fixed in place as well.
