Over the last few months I've noticed one boob is a lot larger than the other (or the other is smaller?). Is this just another gift from the menopause?

I have not heard of this. Have you had it checked out?

Scotchmist Get it checked out. There could be any number of reasons.

A sudden change in one breast size should always be checked. There can be lots of reasons for it, sometimes weight gain.. I have always had one bigger, especially noticeable with putting on lockdown weight. Hope all will be ok for you.

Yes, I’m the same and I do believe that it is yet another gift from the menopause fairy! And I have had it checked and all is well.

I've always had one boob slightly bigger than the other. It's like hands and feet are slightly different. We are not symmetrical. One side of our body is slightly different to the other side. Learn that in biology many decades ago.

Me too, I did point! it out to my GP a couple of years ago and he said it was a common symptom of the menopause.
One nipple is higher than the other too.

Definitely get it checked. I had this. Had to sort of 'tuck' my bigger boob into my bra.

Breast cancer. Stage 3.

Ask your GP for a breast clinic referral.

One of my breasts was preferred by my nursing children and became noticeably larger once I gained weight. Both breasts also get bigger when my oestrogen levels are elevated.

Have you seen your doctor Scotchmist10?
