A member asked:

Why is it that one boob is sensitive and the other one isn't and then it switches off i'm irregular and expecting my period. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Asymmetric bodies: it's not uncommon for our bodies to be asymmetric. One breast may have different sensitivity without an ominous cause. it would be wise to get a thorough breast exam at your doctors office. Hope everything goes well for you.
