Hi,

What is your age? Have you noticed any abnormal features on breast self examination like a breast lump, nipple discharge or skin changes?

This could be due to hormonal changes associated with your menstrual cycle.

This could also be due to tight clothing, trauma or injury.

But this could also be due to some infection - consult your doctor and talk to him/her about this.

Try some warm compresses and wear lose clothes.

If the symptoms still persist, then you should consult your doctor for a clinical examination.

Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
