Hi I am 25 years old and now in my 28th week of my pregnancy. About 15 days ago I noticed sweeping on areola on my left breast first its not painful after 1 weeks sweeping doesn't reduced so I went to my GYN she told me nothing to worry its just Montgomery tuberculosis. After some days my breast becomes swollen nd become tender nd my breast tissue also thickened. So I went second opinion she prescribed me lanolin gel. But now my breast become tender to touch nd my breast become harder than other. Its all in only in one breast where as other seems normal. I searched on Google about it. It shows that its symptoms of breast cancer. I am freaking out is it normal in pregnancy or is it symptoms of cancer pls tell me.

no , it is not cancer or tuberculosis but changes associated with pregnancy. let us put it this way that it is preparation by nature to make breasts ready to feed the baby. some women start feeling changes from day 1 of pregnancy others like you have felt a bit later reduce salt intake and watch your weight. reduce fats and take protein rich diet if you gain more weight , you will be more uncomfortable , besides being unhealthy for the baby also.

It's definitely not normal. In breast cancer there would be a lump too. Don't handle the breast too much. Get a breast ultrasound done and consult a surgeon.
