What is going on with my breast?

I stopped breastfeeding four months ago. I gently reduced over 6 months having fed my son for a few years.

Firstly both my breasts are very lumpy. The lumps are symmetrical between both breasts which is reassuring but they feel ropey and with nodules and lumps all through them. I have booked a GP appt to be safe of course.

Secondly my left breast feels twingy and full. It isn’t actually visibly swollen and skin is normal. It feels like it did when my son was overdue a breastfeed. I can still express a small amount of milk from both breasts but why does my left feel sort of engorged? No evidence of infection. Just feels strange after 4 months of no issues.

I’ve got myself all worried about this and whilst waiting to see GP can anyone offer any reassurance?

Thanks 🙂

@kristie198 I saw the GP in the end, was referred under 2 week wait and had an ultrasound before Christmas. Was all fine 🙂 Just normal fibrous tissue. Phew.
