I was told by a breast specialist
That lesions in the left breast are more common in right handed women,
because they typically carry babies on that side, compress the breast, etc.
Small injuries can be sustained without realizing it.
The majority of women hold infants on the left, close to the heart.
It is an instinctive move.
Right handed women also injure the left breast more often because they may be carrying something and doing a task with the right hand/arm, and the left side then is more exposed.
But you can see from this statistical website that the variation is quite
small. What IS interesting is the favored quadrant, where breast cancer is
found.
