The effectiveness of vitamin E, vitamin B6, and herbal preparations such as evening primrose oil are somewhat controversial. This should be discussed with your health care provider. Your provider will take your medical history and do a physical examination. The provider will check for breast lumps , and will note the qualities of the lump firm, soft, smooth, bumpy, and so on. A mammogram or breast ultrasound may be done. These tests will evaluate any abnormal finding on a breast exam. If a lump is found that is not clearly benign , you may need a breast biopsy.

I Understand. Written by Yoppie 23 Jul What causes breast pain? How do I check for breast lumps? How do I handle painful boobs? Here are a few things to look out for: Dimpled, puckered, or bulging skin on the breasts A nipple that looks like it has changed position or been pushed inward instead of out Any redness, rashes or swelling Fluid coming out of one or both nipples, which could be watery, milky, yellow or blood What do I do if I think something is wrong?
Section jump. Back to top. Breast Tenderness After Your Period? A reduction in the levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone before a period can cause sore breasts. These changes can also cause lymph node swelling, which may contribute to breast pain too. There may also be an association between breast pain and a hormone called prolactin. This hormone stimulates breast milk production in women following childbirth. It is present in the body of females, and it can affect the breasts even if a woman has not recently given birth.
Breast pain may also occur around the time of ovulation , which is when an ovary releases an egg for potential fertilization. It usually takes place 12 to 14 days before a person has their period. Some women report pain in only one breast. If hormones were the only underlying cause, some doctors believe that both breasts would respond the same way.
Therefore, it is possible that other changes in the body can cause breast pain around the time of menstruation. Another explanation is that the cells in each breast respond differently to fluctuating hormone levels. The feeling of breast pain may differ from person to person. Some people describe the pain as soreness, while others are more likely to define it as achiness or tenderness.
Some people experience constant pain over several days, while others find that it comes and goes. Breast soreness may also make it uncomfortable to wear regular bras or tight clothing. Breast cancer can sometimes cause breast pain, but this is rare as the disease tends to be slow-growing and to produce other symptoms before pain occurs. However, a rare form of breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer can cause redness, pain, or swelling in the breasts.
These symptoms usually only affect one breast. Alternatively, if an infection is responsible for the pain, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics. In rare instances, a doctor may prescribe other medications, such as danazol, which is a male hormone that research has shown to reduce breast pain. However, this medication has significant side effects, so doctors do not usually recommend it.
