It’s always disconcerting when you find yourself experiencing symptoms you are not accustomed to feeling. Breast pain is one of those symptoms that can be annoying, uncomfortable and even frightening when you do not know the cause.
Breast pain can be caused by any number of health issues or by regular day-to-day experiences that women have to deal with.
Common causes of breast pain include:
- Women often experience breast pain when their breasts are swelling due to ovulation.
- Women may experience breast pain during their menstrual cycle.
- Breast cysts may cause breast pain at times.
- Breast surgery is often associated with breast pain.
- Pregnancy or other hormonal changes can sometimes cause breast pain.
- Some claim that a fatty acid imbalance may cause breast sensitivity and pain.
- A side effect of using certain medications can at times be a cause of breast pain.
- Lack of proper support with or without a bra can cause breast pain.
- Affected areas of a woman’s body that are actually not in the breast can be a source of pain that may travel to the breasts, even though as a problem originating elsewhere.
- Breast cancer symptoms include breast pain in a small percentage of women.
Women may choose to see a doctor if they experience any breast pain in order to feel confident that nothing is seriously, physiologically wrong. It is recommended to see a doctor if the breast pain persists consistently on a daily basis for more than two weeks.
