Swollen breast

I have noticed today that when I lift my right arm my nipple is ever so slightly indented, also, my right breast is swollen, definitely bigger than the left. I am 53 years old, not on HRT, had a hysterectomy when I was 46. Needless to say that I am now worried. Please put my mind at ease.

  • Welcome to the forum Jlh67 although I'm sorry about the symptoms you've been noticing.

    As it's worrying you it would be best to book an appointment with your GP as they'll be able to let you know if these changes are any cause for concern.

    In the first instance you may have a telephone consultation so I'm just going to include some tips we have on how to get the most out of the type of appointment.

    I hope this helps and everything turns out to be o.k.

    Kind regards,
