A member asked:

Same breast lump 5plus years. fluctuates in size during cycle dr said granular tissue&fibrocystic changes. can breast tissue feel like a lump? worried

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast tissue: doesn't, but your description is showing fluctuation in the size of the cystic changes, and possible solid component called a fibroma. Keep checking with your doctor and if grows needs to be rechecked, even if stable in the past.
