I am 59 years old and just a few days ago, I started to notice that my breasts were swollen. They don't hurt, they just feel full. I have a mammogram every year, and I am due for one at the end of this month. Should I worry about it?

Breast pain can happen after the menopause but it can be helped by supplements such as kelp.

It is also important to get any breast changes checked as well, so I'm glad to hear that you have an appointment soon. 

Also make sure that you get yourself measured properly. A lot of the big stores offer a free service - after the menopause breast shape, size and density can change a lot and an ill-fitting bra can cause pain as well!
