Hi!
I am a firm believer in getting regular check ups. I had breast cancer when i was 26/27 yrs old. Not saying thats whats going on! I had some discomfort in the spot where the lump was. It's my understanding that there is typically no pain at first. Because of my age no one thought it was cancer. My point is, no matter your age, be it 20 or 70 get regular check ups. Especially if something doesn't feel right.

Hi!
Generally breast pain that comes and goes and disappears in between is due to fibroadenosis. So, your mother would need to see whether she gets this pain again in the next cycle or not. This is a benign condition and often there is no lump associated with it. It generally responds to drugs like Danazol.  Pain felt primarily under left breast is often due to acidity and gastric reflux. It can also be due to costochondritis. Your mother should wear good support bras. Eat healthy. Avoid excess salt intake and excess caffeine. Do discuss this with your mother’s doctor and get her examined. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
