They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re right there on our chest\u00e2\u20ac\u201dAA or DDD, perky or pendulous, nipples pale pink or dark brown\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand yet most of us don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give our breasts much thought day to day. But we should. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what the look and feel of your dynamic duo can tell you about your health.<\/p>\n

\nIf your breasts are growing, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s likely due to weight gain (because breasts are made up of mostly fat cells, in addition to glandular tissue), pregnancy (as milk ducts ramp up for breast-feeding), birth control pills, and\/or hormonal changes related to your menstrual cycle (they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re very sensitive to shifts in estrogen and progesterone). No need to worry, though you might need to buy new\u00a0\u00a0bras<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shrinking size<\/p>\n

\nIf you find your chest shrinking, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve likely either lost weight or your estrogen levels are falling, perhaps from going off the pill or impending menopause. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re seeing shrinkage and none of those apply (especially if you also have hair loss, acne, and facial hair), consider being tested for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is characterized by high levels of the hormones testosterone and DHEA. Or maybe just lay off the Starbucks. A study in the British Journal of Cancer found that drinking three cups of coffee a day caused breasts to shrink in some women, with additional cups increasing the effect. The culprit is a gene shown to link breast size to coffee consumption.<\/p>\n

\nIf you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re generously endowed, you can thank (or curse) your DNA. While some studies have linked larger cups to a higher risk of breast cancer, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not enough evidence to cause concern. (Here are 10 things no one tells you about breast reduction surgery.) \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The bottom line is that more studies need to be done before any definitive conclusions can be made,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says breast surgeon Daniel Maman, MD, a plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction and an assistant clinical professor of surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.<\/p>\n

\nYour shape is programmed by your DNA, but it will morph over time. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Breast shape and appearance are largely based on age and history of child-bearing and breast-feeding,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Maman explains. After breast-feeding and as we age, ligaments stretch, connective tissues break down, and skin loses elasticity, causing breasts to form more of a teardrop shape (aka droop). \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lifelong good\u00a0\u00a0bra<\/span><\/a>\u00a0support is one of the few things women can do to fight the effects of gravity,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Maman says. You can also avoid yo-yo dieting, as weight fluctuations stretch the skin, and do exercises such as push-ups and chest presses to build up your pectoral muscles, which firms the chest and makes breasts appear perkier. (See how to do the perfect push-up for pectoral strength.)<\/p>\n

\nLumps and bumps

\nThroughout your menstrual cycle, your breasts may feel lumpy and bumpy, as hormonal changes cause benign cysts to fill with fluid. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In menstruating women, these fibrocystic changes are part of the normal architecture of the breast,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d says gynecologist Lauren Streicher, MD, an associate clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s medical school. The lumps\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhich tend to show up on the sides of the breasts under the armpits and\/or up front and over the nipples\u00e2\u20ac\u201dmay feel tender or even painful, especially pre-period, but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not usually a cause for concern, especially if the lumps are symmetrical. As always, check with your doctor if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re worried. (Here are 7 surprising things your first period says about you.)<\/p>\n

\nDensity
\nbreast densityMark Harmel\/Getty Images
\nIf you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re among the roughly half of women whose breasts are dense\u00e2\u20ac\u201dmeaning they have more fibrous and glandular tissue\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit can be difficult to accurately detect masses or tumors on mammograms. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s because dense breast tissue and cancer both show up as white on x-rays. Since having dense breasts can also mean a slightly elevated risk of cancer, at least 22 states have passed a law requiring physicians to let you know if you have them, according to the organization Are You Dense Advocacy. (Click here for 9 things that impact your breast cancer risk.) Women with extremely dense breasts should ask their doctor about further testing via MRI or ultrasound. In the meantime, get to know your body. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Be diligent with self-exams\u00e2\u20ac\u201dknow what your breasts feel like,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Maman says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Have a very low threshold to seek professional medical assistance if you feel something unusual.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\nAches and pains
\nbreast aches and painsTharakorn\/Getty Images
\nThere\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a long list of things that can cause breast pain, and most are benign. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bilateral breast pain\u00e2\u20ac\u201dpain in both breasts\u00e2\u20ac\u201dis very often hormonal or due to too much caffeine,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Streicher says, since caffeine exacerbates fibrocystic changes. Other possible triggers include PMS changes, an ill-fitting bra, mild trauma to the chest wall (like from bumping into something or doing high-impact exercise), and even carrying a heavy purse on the same shoulder day after day. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Muscle wall tenderness can hang on for weeks,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Streicher says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Most people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t connect the dots.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Do you have back pain? Try this 60-second fix.)<\/p>\n

Breast pain can also come from a deficiency in iron, which regulates thyroid hormones. In a 2004 study, half of women reduced their overall breast pain after adding 6 mg supplements of iodine, which also boosts thyroid function, to their diets. While pain in only one breast could warn of breast cancer\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00e2\u20ac\u009dpeople think breast cancer doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t cause pain, but that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not true; it can hurt,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Streicher says\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthere are a lot of noncancerous things that can cause breast pain, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re much more common.<\/p>\n

\nInverted nipples

\nInverted nipples are perfectly normal if they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always been that way. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The big issue is if you have new inversion,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Streicher says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always had \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcouties\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and one day you have \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcinnies,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 get to the doctor right away because breast cancer is one cause of breast retraction.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (But first make sure it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not just a temporary effect from the sports bra you slept in.)

\nNipple discharge
\nnipple dischargeCatherine Delahaye\/Getty Images
\nNipple discharge is not abnormal\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit can happen after sexual stimulation\u00e2\u20ac\u201dbut it could signal a problem. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Most women immediately think it means breast cancer, and in some cases it does, but there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a long list of other things it could be,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Streicher says. Especially when the discharge is happening on both sides, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s likely to be a hormonal issue. A common problem is elevated levels of prolactin, which could come from a medication you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re taking (such as the pill or certain SSRI antidepressants), having an underactive thyroid, duct ectasia (a menopause-related shortening of the milk ducts), or worst case, a pituitary tumor. A benign tumor called a papilloma can occasionally cause a bloody discharge, Maman notes. Discharge can also just mean you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re pregnant and your breasts are kick-starting the milk production factory. And milky discharge can persist for up to 2 years after you stop breast-feeding. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Most times, nipple discharge is normal but should still prompt an evaluation,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Maman says, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153particularly when nipple discharge is bloody, involves only one breast, and occurs along with skin changes and suspicion of a breast mass.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
