Breast discomfort

Breast discomfort

I am 38 years old, had 2 children.  Not pregnant now but the last 2 weeks my breasts have been extremely sore and heavy.  When I take my bra off it seems likes I have to carry them especially as I am only a 34C.  I am worried because my sister had breast cancer but she had found a lump with hers.  Perhaps I am just worrying over nothing.

Hi,
Although many women with pain in one or both breasts may fear breast cancer, breast pain is NOT a common symptom of breast cancer especially when both breasts are involved.The pain you are experiencing could be caused by hormonal changes.
Try to wear a good supportive bra, avoiding caffeine and using less salt could better control the discomfort.
I think that you should pay a visit to your family doctor for a clinical breast exam.Write down a list of any medication that you might be taking so you can mention it to your doctor.. Certain medications may be causing your breasts pain .Taking vitamin E or vitamin B6 might also help to lessen the pain,but please ask your doctor before taking any vitamins or other medication.
Best wishes...
