What could be the reason for uneven breast size?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood it.

Uneven breast size is common, but a noticeable increase in size in one breast over five years, especially with pain, should be evaluated by a doctor. Some possible causes include:

1. Hormonal changes (like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause).
2. Fibroadenoma (a benign breast lump).
3. Cysts (fluid-filled sacs in the breast).
4. Fibrocystic breast changes (causing pain and lumpiness).
5. Infections (like mastitis, though more common in breastfeeding women).
6. Lipoma (a benign fatty tumor).
7. Gynecomastia (in men, due to hormonal imbalance).
8. Rarely, breast cancer.

I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions:

1. Self-examine your breasts: Check for lumps, skin changes, nipple discharge, or redness.
2. Consult a doctor: A breast exam, ultrasound, or mammogram may be needed.
3. Monitor symptoms: Keep track of pain, size changes, and any new lumps.
4. If you notice a persistent lump, increasing pain, or changes in skin texture, seek medical attention promptly.

Would you like guidance on performing a self-breast exam?

I hope this has helped you.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
