Hi Since About Last Year I started to get sharp pains through my right breast, it started to get sore and started to swell, it became very painful, gave me sore chest and breathing difficultys, I went to the doctor and they said i had a large Lump in my right breast, and would take about 3 weeks until i could see ia breast surgen. one Day was at my boyfriends house, i was fine until my breast became very painful again and i couldnt breathe, my dad took me to HNS 24 and saw 2 doctors and they told me there was 2 lumps, i was then kept in overnight in hopsital to go and see a breast doctor the next day i then went to the doctor and got a scan, they said it was exes breast tissue and more muscle in my right breast. But it was my hormons and they would fix out, now and then my right nipple swells up and my breasts get really sore and very tender! it gets to me alot. I get picked on for it, Big tit wee tit and more worse things than that. As my right breast is about 5times bigger than my left one. I just want to know when it will sort out and that because its getting to me alot..

Hi there
I don't know whether this will help anyone but I would like to tell my story anyway.
Ever since I can remember my left breast was at least a couple of cup sizes smaller than the right, For years I just put up with it and thought it was one of those things and that there was nothing that could be done about it. The condition seemed to get worse after I had my little girl 6 years ago and it really started to bother me a lot more. Eventually I went to see my Gp and he referred me to a specialist on the Nhs. I was examined and the doctor said I had 2 options, either an implant in my left breast or a reduction in my right. I decided to have an implant and got it done a few months later. It was the best decision I ever made and I am absolutely delighted with the results. My breasts don't look exactly the same,(they never did anyway) But they are the same size and fit into a double DD bra perfectly and thats good enough for me.My advice is to go and see your Gp.
