Female question - boobs

I agree with herblackwings to get it checked out just in case, but our breasts do have natural fibers that can feel lumpy, especially as you get closer to the muscle. I'm going to say chances are your breasts are just fine, but since I can't feel them myself, best to get them checked out as a precaution.

Yeh at the very least I'll get my dear old mum to have a feel. I was just hoping somebody had a similar experience to stop me being a worrier in the meantime. I honestly think it's probably the first time I've ever been able to feel the actual breast tissue/ muscle properly without so much fat but I will play it safe anyway. thanks for your advice

That's a good idea. Generally, tumors in the breast will be more pea-like in feel and shape - harder, and they'll stand out more than just regular lumpiness. Your mom will be able to tell as well because she's likely had a lot more experience in the whole breast-checking fiasco that we'll go through when we get older.

Yeah, I just had my mammogram last week and 40 lbs less than last year made a big difference. My boobs are flatter and I can feel stuff in them much more than before, but that's a good thing because they didn't have to squish them near as much. But I also have a doctors appt where she will do a manual check. I know in the past when I thought I felt something, she said feel both sides and if it's the same, you're probably fine. If you feel something on one side that isn't on the other, then we can check it out. But also, she mentioned the breast structure changed throughout the month and depending upon when you did a self breast exam, you may feel different things. I've also read that women have found lumps after they lost weight and said it was a blessing that they did because when they were heavy, they just couldn't feel through the fat near as easily. So, it's good to get a second opinion and know for sure.

I've lost 90 lbs and have dropped from a 44ddd to a 36/38 c and I can tell you mine feel lumpier too. They are also looking deflated...but to be on the safe side please see your doc. At least you'll get kudos on the weight loss, that's always nice. Good luck

Random lumpy feelings can be perfectly normal. Personally, I tend to feel some very painful 'blobs' a week before my period starts. It freaked me out when I first discovered it, in my early 20s. My doctor told me that it's very common for tissue cells to mass together with hormone fluctuations before or during menstruation. Now I don't worry about it, I know it's just part of how my body works.

The point is...it could be absolutely nothing to worry about. Or it could be something more serious. Don't mess around. If you're feeling anything in your breasts that you haven't felt before, you need to have it checked. Even if you are told that it's normal and fine and you waste a $40 copay. You need to make sure.

There is a lot of boob squishing going on here...just sayin'.

PS OP there is some weird fat "woosh" thing in a book by some man who says that at some point during weight loss the fat feels like "marbles" or something. Considering that boobs seem fatty, maybe that's the thing? Anyways I don't know what it will accomplish having your mom squish your boobs. She may at best agree with you and say "yeah that's weird". but you'll still know nothing. Maybe someone will tell you this guy I'm referring to with the marble fats and the wooshes or his book. meantime, how about you make an OB appointment with an experienced OB and let them feel them and tell you what they are feeling.
