About the Symptom

Your breasts can feel full or tight for many reasons usually involving changes in your hormonal status. If your breasts feel full or tight with your menstrual cycles this is very normal and does not require evaluation by a physician. Also during pregnancy it is normal for your breasts to fell full and/or tight. Weight gain will also cause these symptoms. However, if one side feels fuller and tighter over a short period of time this is not normal and a physician evaluation and possibly some imaging such as mammogram or ultrasound will be advised depending on other factors.
