Changes to Breast Areola

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi all,

The areola on my right boob has changed shape quite significantly. It's grown in size and is no longer circular. It took about 3 months for the transformation to happen.

I went to the doctors and they referred me to the hospital. I ended up having a scan several weeks later which didn't show anything alarming and I was discharged.

I haven't really been given an explanation but the doctors don't seem concerned, however I can't seem to ignore it. I've been on-line several times and haven't been able to find anyone or any information about areola changes in shape and size.

Has this happened to anyone?

Please, please could someone put my mind at ease and tell me this is happened to them and it's nothing to worry about.

I would much appreciate any information at all.

Thanks in advance.

      Hi Elizabeth

      Thanks for your response. I think the thing that is bothering me the most is the fact that I haven't been able to find any info or anyone that this has happened to.

      I think I will go back and ask and just hope in the meantime that someone who has experienced changes reads my post.

      I hope all goes well for you with your mamogram, keep us posted. It adds to the worry if you've got cancer in the family.

      Fingers crossed and take care.
