Need help - boob problem šŸ˜¢

#1

Hi everyone, I started keto about a month ago, just before my period.

Two days ago, I noticed that my one boob is smaller then the other :flushed:. My hubby doesnā€™t see it, but I do! I thought maybe I lost more fat in my right boob, because I use right arm more, and sleep on my left side (maybe slowing blood circulation to left side?)

ā€¦it gets worse.

Well, today my pre-menstrual symptoms have kicked in, and Iā€™m getting regular soreness and swelling only in my already bigger boob (left side)!!! My smaller boob is completely fine!!

I never had this in my life! It was always same for both my boobs. Iā€™m positive it has something to do with the dietā€¦ But will it pass? Or will I be unevenly distributed like this for the rest of my life?

Please help :cry:

None of us are perfectly even. I certainly noticed it more as I was a growing teen. However it you are noticing discomfort past your period or noticed unusual lumps, please get checked.

We arenā€™t perfectly symmetrical. One foot is larger than the otherā€¦one hand is largerā€¦your nails arenā€™t exactly the same on both hands and same for your toenails. You just donā€™t notice those things so muchā€¦same goes for the tataā€™s. Itā€™s not the diet, itā€™s just that you have more awareness now that youā€™re losing weight.

No two boobs are created equal, even on the same chest.

My right boob has always been bigger, not freakishly enough for anyone to notice, but I certainly do. Being a little uneven is totally normal.

Maybe youā€™re seeing such a difference because of the weight loss, where as before when they were bigger it wasnā€™t as noticeable?

Ditto those above, but regarding the pain, I get occassional pain in my breasts. I talked to my dr about it, worried about cancer and whatnot, and was told that pain is almost never an indicator of cancer. So thereā€™s that.

I couldnā€™t help but to notice regular pain/discomfort in both breasts since I started losing more weight/fat. Itā€™s a daily thing at this point. Most noticeable when I take my bra off. They feel heavy, as though they could slide off my chest down to the floor. I havenā€™t seen my doctor yet because I keep putting it off. My breasts have gotten
significantly smaller. I figured the feeling may be because they are going through changes right nowā€¦:thinking:

Thank you Karen - Iā€™ll keep monitoring, hopefully it gets back to normal after period :disappointed: Iā€™m a little scaredā€¦

#10

Yeah?? Oh God I hope so!! Iā€™ll wait and seeā€¦ Thank you!!

#11

Maybeā€¦ I hope soā€¦ I had my hubby inspect me this morning, and even he noticed that left side ā€˜is chubbierā€™ (his words hahah).

I donā€™t knowā€¦ Iā€™m pretty in tune with my body, I think I would have noticed the difference beforeā€¦ But who know :disappointed:

#12

Well thatā€™s great news!!! I hope itā€™s not cancer!!

But I also hope I wonā€™t have to customize my bra in future, for big and small boob :disappointed:

Oh wow! I know that we store fat in boobs too, so Iā€™m not surprised that they are getting smaller - in fact Iā€™m supper happy about that, as Iā€™m 36DD! Iā€™m not sure about feeling pain all the time - I donā€™t have that unless Iā€™m PMSing.

But are they getting smaller at same speed? Or is one skinnier then other? And if yes, did chubbier one catch up?!

I would really like them to keep their shape and get smaller, but maybe I canā€™t have it all :disappointed:

aahahahah OMG! Thank you :joy::joy::joy::joy: Iā€™ll try it with accent! Thank you hahaha

They are the same size but I know it is common for them to be different as the others mentioned. Iā€™m afraid we must take what we can get and embrace it. :relaxed:

When I first started following this way of eating I had months where my breast got really tender during my cycle, sometimes at unusual points of my cycle. A few times they even felt how they felt when I was pregnant. Tender and heavy. (A little freaky at 52.) Itā€™s been a year. Now they donā€™t get tender at all.

@Ena - weā€™re very glad to help. First step is we need to review pictures.

No, wait! Stop! What am I SAYING!?! My apologies to women, men who identify as women, and people who identify as boobs.

Sorry bout that Any post containing ā€œboob problemā€ gets my automatic readership, and I keyboarded before my better judgement kicked in.
