Breast density: Intermittent increases in breast density or tenderness is a common occurrence in women during various stages of their menstrual cycle or while on birth control. These changes are due to hormonal fluctuations, and can be made worse by excessive caffeine use. These changes are not usually of any significance or dangerous. Follow up with your doctor as recommended, stay well hydrated and relax.
