More tittie talk

Anyone else told that they have those hard areas in their breast tissue caused by caffiene consumption? I never noticed them, but after my mamm last year the tech mentioned it and suggested a breast exam. I was 20 last summer and hadnt ever seen a gyno (yes I know) so no professional had never felt me up previously.

She didnt reccomend any corrective action really, but it just seems kinda freaky to have caffiene deposits in my breasts. yuck.

Are they considered cysts or fibroid cysts? I've heard of them, but didn't know any were caused by caffeine.....

I had them in my 20's and they said that it was caffine related. I try to limit my intake, but I haven't had much probelm with them in a long time. They were like bumps under my arm pits.

You know, I had a lump right in my arm pit once where I went to see the dr. -- it was painful and a hard lump right in the pit.....didn't know it was caffeine related...have had a couple more here & there....

They are fibroid cysts. Caffeine doesn't "cause" them, but aggrivates them, or contributes to them. Other things contribute to them too. I believe they are genetic and harmless.

I had them in my teens/early 20s and my caffeine intake was very very low. Then, in my late 20s til now I have very very few and the doc no longer says anything about them and my caffeine intake is moderate. Go figure.

That's them I have them and I have to have a mamagram every year to make sure they don't change...They hurt really bad after I had my three kids and that must have been due to hormones...

I had them in my 20's when I was drinking diet sodas

Not sure if the 2 are related or not

I really dont consume that much caffiene but I guess some women are more susceptable than others. I drink one large cup of nuclear strength coffee each day, no sodas, no tea, no chocolate.

So does anyone know what can be done to resolve them? My gyno really had little to say about them. Also, maybe I misunderstood her, but I inferred that the caffiene conumption can cause an unnatural generalized firmness throughout the breasts, not just concentrated nodules. Is that incorrect?

I have them still.....but my gyn said it's from breastfeeding, the milk sacs haven't gone "completly" down yet...some women they never go completly away....

You are correct anya...caffiene increases breast tenderness especially right before your peroid. I would just make sure they don't get larger...and check your breasts after you finish your peroid.
