has anyone ever been told by there doctor that they have dense breast?

Dense breasts are usually found on young women who haven't had any children.  They are harder to do on mammography, because they don't flatten out as well as less dense breasts, and mammography might not be as accurate, because dense breasts are harder for the radiologists to read (cancer and densities look similar).  \n\nI'd look at this as a compliment, because you have young, perky breasts, but please be sure to do breast screening every month because the mammography isn't as accurate

No it is not true...\n\nGenetics and breast augmentation are the only insight to help with increased breast size...\n\nSorry...But what will it hurt, go get yourself some good land-o-lakes and give them a good smire..:)

my friend. well doctors said something then do that. They definately have some more knowledge and so they have that degree. i am also having some kind of pimples over my chest. yeah its bit awkward but its fact. doctors used that word and gave me medicine. still i have. I also doubt that i shud stop medecines coz it will affect my health but in ur case i belive that u shud consult another doctor. coz ever ur health might be affected. dont stop medecines but consult more doctors unless u get idea that it will be cured.

It is possible, but extremely rare. However, there are normal growth-related changes that can create lumps in the breasts (such as fibrocysts and fibroadenomas) that are not cancerous. Only a health professional can tell for sure, so it's still a good idea to have any lumps checked out. And all females should perform monthly breast self-examinations. If you start young, you can learn what is normal for your breasts and you'll know if something does happen later in life.\n\nA good web site you might want to visit is\nhttp://kidshealth.org/parent/question/general/breast_exams.html.\n\nHope this helps.

Tell your doctor that the size of your breasts is making you mentally unhappy and you should be able to get the surgery on the NHS.

what kind of doctor is he/she??? go get a second opinion. i would definately want to know what's going on if i were you, especially if there's a family history of breast cancer. good luck and hang in there. remember that you're not alone.

No.  If it continues for more than a day or so, you should see a physician.  Believe it not, all the things which can go wrong with breasts can go wrong with males as well since they have exactly the same breast tissue women do (though there is usually a lot less in males).

Maybe it's a hormonal imbalance, that would be nice in some ways! big boobs I'd love to have but it could be harmful too, what if too much estrogen caused something else to go wrong?  Better ask the doctor about it and get your levels tested.

I know my sister has a disease where she gets hard lumps in her breast, they're sort of like cysts. She has to go to the doctor now and then to get them popped (sick I know). If it isnt that it very well could be breast cancer. You should definately go to your doctor.

No it is not true. Breasts are fat and nothing more. And yes hormones can cause larger breasts as women who are pregnant will testify to. \n Sexual activity will not affect hormones unless it results in pregnancy.

When I was a young woman, I was very concerned about my breast size.  My Dad said he had a solution for me.  He took me fishing with him.  He said that rowing a boat would help with my problem.  I was determined to make my boobs bigger.  I spent 2 entire summers rowing him all over the lake while he fished.  I'm still an A cup to this day.  But I sure got in some quality time with my Dad.\n\nBest of luck!

If you are truly concerned, consider getting a second opinion from a doctor of your own choosing, NOT one that's been recommended by the doc that gave you the first reading.  That way you know there are no conflicting interests.\n\nSometimes a lump is just a lump.  Breasts get lumpy during certain times of the month, and goes along with normal cycles.  Calcifications and shadowing are pretty routine findings as well.  If there was something to be concerned about, the first doc would have ordered a biopsy on the lump.  A biopsy is where a needle is inserted into the lump and a sample is taken to be studied, to determine whether it is cancerous.

You can always have a doctor check you out when you have your yearly exams and stuff like that.  When I go for my checkup, my doctor's check my breasts, and I've already had an ultrasound and mammogram (I was 18 when I got both), and the lumps are normal before your menstrual cycle starts.  I have something called fibrocystic disease, which is basically a fancy way of saying I have "lumpy breasts".  It's normal for women who've never had kids, haven't went through menopause, or young women in adolescence and early adulthood.  It's normal to feel tenderness and some soreness every now and then, but remember to do self breast exams on yourself after your period ends.  As always, you can get checked out, to make sure everything's okay.  Hope this helps!!!

didn't the doctor tell you that would happen??  My sister was going to have a boob job but the doc told her she probably would never be able to breastfeed and would more than likely loose all feeling in that area.  That is one of the side effects.
