I'm 17 yrs old, when I was 16 I found a lump on the outer part of my right breast that came and went on occasion. My doctor had me get an ultrasound for it and told me he found nothing of it. This past july it came back but this time bigger, my doctor had me take another ultrasound in august that I didnt recieve the results back until mid-september when we had to call them, in which they told us it was nothing to stop drinking caffeine and to start taking vitamin e. When I went back in october I had now a larger lump on the outer part of my right breast and a smaller lump forming on the top portion as well as a small lump on the lower portion of my left breast and I was not close to menstrating. He diagnosed me with fibrocystic breast disease and told me not to worry about it and just understand it is something I should research and just live normally with. This time the lumps didnt go away even after menstration later that month they simply "deflated" slightly. It is not late november and the lumps have not only increased in size but on my right breast it now stretches from the lower outer portion to the inner upper portion and the entire upper portion of my left breast. I want to go into the doctor again but this time with another doctor. My mom advices me that it is normal and I shouldnt need one. This past week I was talking to my friend's father who is a doctor about fbd and he told me that I should be a little worried that I am only 17 with a condition commonly found in women above 40 and rarely in women above 21. What is your advice
