I am 67 and thought l had breast cancer.. but turns out it's Fat Necrosis..(Fat necrosis is a benign (non-cancerous) condition where fatty tissue is damaged, often forming firm, sometimes tender, lumps. Most commonly occurring in breast tissue, it is caused by trauma, surgery, or radiation therapy, resulting in damaged fat cells being replaced by scar tissue or oil cysts
. It typically resolves on its own without treatment).
I haven't had any of the above .. but the specialist seems to think it's because I've lost a lot of weight very quickly ( mounjaro) and my huge breasts are now very saggy.
I have on average about 30 in each breast.. ranging in size from a pea size to a plumb.
They have caused bruising on the outside and my breasts are both painful and tender.
At first l did " pop" some
. it was like popping bubble wrap.. but l have now left them all alone.. l am seeing the specialist again in three months..
Anyone else with this condition? Anyone had theirs drained.. Anyone any advice?
Thankyou.
