May I ask just a couple of questions to better help you. Are you on any hormone replacement therapy or have you completed full menopause? Did both of your breasts increase in size and did this seem to come on suddenly or has it slowly progressed? And also can you tell me any medications that you may be taking? This will allow me to be of better help to you. Thank you.

This has been happening over a period of a couple of months.

I take:
zyrtec
singular
nasonex
ambien
diuril
zolof
xanax (as needed)
celebrex

Forgot - I started taking a natural product for arthritist 2 mo. ago. It's a joint support type supplement.

I've completed menopause, on no harmones. Also, both breasts have increased in size. Sorry for the incomplete answer

Thank you for that information as it gives me a little background to go on. None of the medications that you are taking would be causing this to occur and most joint suppliments especially all natural do not cause a reaction. Since you are through menopause then this is not something that would most likely be related to hormone growth but it is possible. If you have not been having any pain or excellerated growth then this may not be related to a cyst issue since this has been in both breasts but if you have not had a mammogram in the last 6 months to a year then I would recommend that you do consider this to rule out any underlying cause. In some cases of high estrogen which can re-occur in some cases even after menopause they try to counteract the estrogen effect with the Depoprovera injection so this is something to consider asking your physcian about since it is best to have a mammogram performed to rule out any other causes that may not be related to a late increase in estrogen. In most cases they do become smaller but for some women this can occur so offsetting the estrogen with the Depo is the best route to take.
