Pain in one breast

Hello, I’ve been having on and off pain in my right breast for a few weeks now. I have an area of glandular tissue in this breast (seen on mammogram etc in breast clinic last August) the pain moves around sometimes feels heavy, sometimes a dull pain and it moves around the breast. The breast also seems slightly larger - it’s always been bigger than the left but seems just a slightly bit larger now? (Tho I may be over noticing something given the pain!) Any experience? I am on desogestral and have put on some weight since last year. 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Breast pain is common, and not usually a sign of breast cancer, and can be related to changes in hormone levels. There is information about breast pain on this website

    Reducing alcohol, caffeine intake may help. Some women try evening primrose supplements. Do speak to your GP about your current medications and see what they suggest might help.

    I hope that you get this addressed soon,

    Kind regards,

    Vanda
