Do you think your breasts are getting bigger?
Do you feel a lump in your breast?
Are your nipples so sensitive that you have discomfort, pain, or itch when your clothes touch them?
Do your breasts feel stretched, tight or full?
Treatment for this condition depends on the cause. Simple options include dressing in a less noticeable way and losing weight. The doctor may prescribe you hormone therapy to correct imbalances, or surgery if tumors are the cause.
