Researchers  never say why some women have more dense breasts.  What is it
from?  Taking the pill?  Never being pregnant?  Never  breastfeeding?



Cohort of one here but when I had my breast-core biopsy years ago ( benign  
fibroademona, not the kind to mutate to cancer, and tumor went away on its  own 
later) I actually broke the first needle! I joked that my father always said  
I was "dense" but I he didn't mean my breasts. I apparently have extremely 
dense  breasts: menarche not til almost 14, never took oral contraceptives or 
used any  hormonal child spacing methods, two pregnancies, nursing a total of 7 
1/2  years..and boy and I dense,  so who knows. My grandmother did get  breast 
cancer, and so did my mom, both post-menopausal. My mom is now over 10  years 
out and going strong, btw.
 
Just my 2 cents,
Peace,
