Why is there pain on the breast if mentruation is coming?
468855
Before the period, a lot of hormonal changes happen in the body. Some of the hormones cause the milk glands to swell. That's why your breast is swollen and painful to the touch. \n\nTry wearing a comfortable cotton bra with a good support and avoid doing sports that require a lot of bouncing up and down like running, aerobics, volleyball...\nThe pain should go away in a day or two.

Usually pain is not a sign of cancer . When doing a self breast exam and you feel a lump usually something that is bad doesn't hurt and the lump will feel like it is fixed to the surrounding tissue. Usually we all have weird lumps before and during out menstrual cycle so self exams should be performed after your period. \nIf you feel pain it could be an infection or a blocked gland, just to be on the safe side go get it checked out.\nCancer does not discriminate between age, size and cultures, unfortunately it doesn't matter how old or small you are, there are always possibilities

maybe the bra your wearing those nasty wires tend to move then it sores the breast for days hint buy a good bra & hand wash it & air dry it, if you feel lumps get checked for cancer,if your going through mentapause thats just nature changing your body, if your having un protected sex may be pregnant some women as they say carry baby in there breast then too you can experince the soreness before,durring,or after your monthly cycle

First off, THIS IS NOT one of the times that you should jump off of your computer and run to the ER. \n\nA bit of information. Lumps that come and go with your period may be what is known as Fibrocystic Change (not cancer). Your breasts respond to hormone changes during your period. Breast lumps should usually be examined about a week or so AFTER the start of your period. \n\nMake an appointment with your primary care physician, and don't get anxious.\n\nHere is a website with good reliable information:\nhttp://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/4982-4.asp

It might.  Is the area red and do you feel any swelling or heat at all?  If you squeeze the nipple is there any drainage?  Seems something triggered this, don't know what you might have done three weeks ago but perhaps some activity instigated this problem.  When you say you are experiencing pain, is it constant or just when you move a certain way?  The reason for my questions is because most likely a doctor will ask the same things, so you may need to visit a doctor and be prepared to give good details.  Good Luck...

Yes,it feels like a mass,and it seems to become firmer as the months go on,it moves and in the third trimester it will start to ball up into a really hard knot,and that can be uncomfortable.Especially when they turn feet up and push up against your rib cage.But they are soooo worth everything you go through to get them here.

NOT NORMAL!!!! Go back to your doctor ASAP and if he still says nothing wrong, get a second opinion!  Your breasts are precious. Enough said.

As pregnancy continues the mammary glands will begin producing milk for lactation.  This is the ultimate cause of the soreness and will likely vary on a daily basis but worsen as the glands become enlarged.

No, usually pain in the breasts is not cancer. I had the same problem and it just cysts. You get cysts around the time of your period. If you are worried go see your obgyn.

I have also experienced the same accompanied by a sharp pain in one side.  I'm a few years older than you and have 3 kids but mine started in high school and came back years later.  Being on the pill helps because it prevents you from ovulating and evens out hormone levels (usually the cause). \n\nAnother thing it may be is mild endometriosis.  Don't panic.  Many women have some variation of this and don't even have symptoms.  Others have it severely and they need it removed surgically.  Your doctor can tell by ultrasound or exploratory surgery if it's endometriosis and if you need it removed.  This is when cells that are supposed to form in the uterus to be shed later (period) actually overproduce and attatch in other areas and cause pain.  It's very common and usually can be controlled using synthetic hormones in birth control pills.\n\nI feel for you because I hurt so bad at one point that I thought I was going to pass out.  See your doctor and ask about being put on the pill first.  If it doesn't help, insist that they do an ultrasound.  Most of what I have found out about female pain indicates a hormonal embalance so I hope this advice helps!

If you are mainly lactating from one breast, there could be a few thing wrong with the other breast, your other breast could have sustained an injury(one that you might not remember or that seemed insignificant) even a small amount of scar tissue can interfere with milk production. The mammary glands in your breast could also be under developed, this could have been cause by a variety of conditions now of which are serious. If you are producing some milk from this breast with increased pumping and nursing you may be able to increase the milk supply. It is very normal to have one breast produce more milk then the other. Unfortunately there's really nothing to do about the size difference. When you are done breastfeeding the difference in your breasts should be less noticeable. There is no reason why you can't breast feed though, one breast is capable of producing enough milk for a baby.\n\nIf your milk ducts were plugged you would have pain and swelling, but that wouldn't account for the change in size. Plugged ducts can be relived by nursing and pumping. You should talk to your doctor about this though, just in case there is something more serious going on.

This lump has just appeared in the last 16 hours?  If it has, it's possible that you could have an infected gland in your breast.  Tell your parents you need to see a doctor.  In the meantime, try an icepack and/or Advil.  (Breast cancer normally does not cause that type of pain or cause a lump that quickly)

LOL Mine do it all the time too...I once had a doctor say that it's cause by a nerve cluster in the aerola (nipple) firing erratically all at once. Try scratching it with a piece of toilet paper or tissue so that you don't scratch it. Also I notice that it's worse when I wear a bra (as the day goes on.) Perhaps there is a small piece of the cloth irritating the area causeing it to itch. Mmmmmm. Try taking your bra off (if the t.p. thing don't work) and washing both breasts down with a damp cloth. That usually helps me.

The women have always told me not to touch their nipples when they are close to their period so I am guessing that this a normal thing,but as with any major changes in body functions or reactions,If the pain is alot worse than normal for you,I would recommend seeing your family doctor.\n\nGood luck with those nipples.I hope the pain subsides for ya soon.

please make an appointment to see your gynecologist. You are old enough now that you should be seeing one.\n\nI am not sure if you have cancer, but breasts feel VERY sore and sort of bumpy when they are developing. And darling, you are very young, and this could just be the pains and uneven-ness of your breasts growing.\n\nhowever, going to see your gynecologist is the first step in learning more about breast cancer. She can help you determine if your lump is just growing pains, or something to deal with, like cancer, a cyst or anything else. She can also show you how to do a self breast exam so you can look for lumps yourself and she can talk to you about how to identify them as lumps or normal tissue. PLEASE make an appointment and go see your gynecologist.

For the most part no. The reason is that if you are fully developed and/or during your period or possbibly pregnant you can cause the ducts within your breast area to become inflammed. But for the most part the answer is no. The only question I might ask is why you would want to wear a bra too small. However, a sport type bra or good fitting bra is better if you have large or even normal breast.
