One lumpy breast

I've been dealing with this for as long as I can remember but my anxiety has decided to come for this fear. My right breast is bigger and lumpier than the left but when I try to do a "proper" breast exam it's so lumpy I get myself in a panic. I normally just feel about with what feels natural and I can't feel anything but when I go quite deep it's so lumpy. I've been to the gp numerous times in previous years and also been to breast clinic 2 years ago. I just can't shake this fear. Even though I've been told I just hav lumpy breasts but my left isn't lumpy at all

In 2 years of repeated visits to GP and even breast clinic… no mammogram?!

How old are you?

@Mummyto2123 , do you have a history of serious health anxiety? I think I’ve posted on some of your other threads about various health fears you have
