A member asked:

What should a normal breast feel like? there is very little information on what is normal and what is considered abnormal. i know anything new should be checked, but what things/structures are normal to feel during a breast exam?

Normal breast tissue varies for each woman and during the month. Breast tissue is mostly fat, with milk glands that grow/recede based on hormones, angled from the outer breast in towards the nipple. If you feel anything hard, like a dried pea, or the skin feels rough like an orange, or you have a new dimple or new contour, these are things to have a Dr look at.
