Your breast hurts. Your mind immediately goes to cancer. But what if that’s not the most likely cause?
Most breast pain is NOT cancer.
Common causes include:
Hormonal changes before your period
Breastfeeding-related infections (mastitis)
Breast abscesses
Certain medications
Non-cancerous breast lumps
See a doctor if:
• The pain lasts more than a few weeks
• It keeps getting worse
• It interferes with daily life
• It stays in one specific area
Early check and evaluation brings peace of mind and helps identify the real cause.
Listen to your breasts. Don’t ignore persistent pain.
