hi all hope you all doing ok.  I read that one of symptoms is boobs losing their fullness and becoming flatter and that is happening to me but im finding it quite painful.   in particular my left boob feels like its brused all time and my chest bones are so sore.  everyday painkillers dont seem to work anyone got any recommendations that would ease it.  bad enough we go through all this and now gonna lose my only one redeeming feature ha , any advice be welcome thank you x

    Hi lol64

    I have noticed this too:-( I didn't really want to believe it but my "profile" is flattening. In my bra it's still ok but when liberated they seem like little empty sacks and it's quite demoralising. I didn't actually link it to perimenopause but you have got me thinking this could be why.

    I haven't had any pain for several months but earlier on, just before my last period in September, my breasts were very painful and it didn't ease up until end of October. It's like one thing after another lately, losing my skin elasticity is also depressing... Now taking up facial yoga (as seen on you tube) and it seems to be helping a bit. Good luck with this pain- I hope it passes soon.

    I am HAVING the same thing, I went to the dr, I am not sure what you could take to fix it, I am searching too, but it is due to the menopause/peri and the dip in our hormones, I am taking a really good menpause formula but to be honest my boobs and chest still hurt, I almost thought I was having a heart attack one day thats how bad it was, but it was in my shoulders and my left breast, I took 3 aspirn got an EKG and I was ok, but its miserable.

    Hi, yes I have noticed my once fairly full boobs are now nearly flat.  It is horrible and I feel like a boy. My tummy is fine though. Breast pain also a prob.  Aching!!! I have started HRT two weeks ago so I am led to believe this will help with this and my many other symptoms.  HRT is not for everyone but nothing else worked and I just had to relent and give it a go.  Hope things ease for you all.  Evening Primrose oil meant to be good for breast pain.XX

      Maybe i haven't taken it long enough but, evening primrose hasn't helped me at all. Do you have to be on it a long time to get results.

    So far I don't have this problem are you guys on any HRT it could be the HRT's doing it thats why I do not wish to be on HRT for my hormones because it messes with your body and gives a lot of side effects

      I am not on HRT but having this problem. I am like you Susan and want to avoid Hormones due to problems in the past with the pill and Mirena- I got breast lumps and ovarian cysts while on the Mirena and that is just a low dose progesterone:-( figure it is asking for trouble if I go down the HRT route.
