So I'm almost 40 and decided I better give my breasts a proper exam. Following the directions online I did that and found lumps everywhere. I believe they are all (or most) cysts. I also found dents/creases at the bottom sides of each breast, more pronounced on the left. They are most noticeable when my arms are squeezing down at my sides and then dissappear when I raise my arms.This is what really freaked me out. So yesterday I had my breast exam and the practitioner was very kind and reassuring. She felt my cysts and is referring me for ultrasound for those. She saw the creases and seemed to think they were normal and probably from aging/weight gain since they are more of a crease than a dent/dimple. The problem is when I got home i remembered seeing a dent/dimple above the crease this is only noticeable when I squeeze or push the tissue down and across. I ignored that since it was smaller than the creases but it popped into my head after my appointment becauseof what she said. I am waiting the ultrasound place to give me a call and can do nothing but panick in the mean time. Hoping someone might be going through something similar.
