Hello and thanks for the post

Breast pain is not unusual and in many cases may be down to hormonal changes - the medical name for it is mastalgia.

Glandular tissue is more commonly seen in breasts which are still quite dense and in the younger age groups - so that is also why you may have had the ultrasound as well. It's reassuring to know that both the mammogram and ultrasound did not show anything of concern, but as you remain worried , do go back to the GP to go over your symptoms again. Breast clinics will see patients for mastalgia as well as any lumps , so you can always discuss this with the GP.

I hope things start to settle down soon for you

All the best

Thank you for replying. The pain has seemed to ease a bit now it's 5 days after my period but there is still a niggling pain when I  bend down or lean over sometimes, it is definitely worse leading up to my period and then for a few days afterwards so I'm assuming it is linked to hormones but for the rest of the month there is always some discomfort in the same area in the left breast that catches me unawares. I'm taking evening primrose oil with starflower oil and have cut caffeine but doesn't seem to make a difference. It's such a worry

Hello,

Breast pain can take several months or longer to reduce, even after making some lifestyle changes. It may be that you will experience breast pain around various points in your menstrual cycle. So try to not over worry about this.

Do talk to your GP, if it doesn't improve over time, to see what they can suggest to help.

Wishing you the best,

Vanda
