A member asked:
Are lumpy breasts normal 10 days before period, my right breast even more lumpy but when checked after period they seemed fine, nipples also get itchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Your breasts respond to increased Progesterone produced in the second half of your cycle, then return to normal after your period when the levels have dropped. This is why the best time to check your breasts for lumps is about a week after your period.
