Aa
could I be pregnant or not?
I have been having breast tenderness for aboout a month now, they get very swollen sometimes, and they have also put out very little discharge. They have been so sore that I have had to take pain medication. Along with the breast tenderness I have also been very moody and have had skin problems darker pigmentation and oiliness. I have also have had two menstrations within 24 days of each other when normally I go 28 to 32 days. Is there a possiblity that I could be pregnant because I have had sex recently without protection?
I have had discharge from my breast and they get hard and full and my daughter is 4 years old now
sure,you could be.take a home preg. test.but it could be other things also.it could be a hormone problem.Some degree of breast tenderness is normal. The discomfort may be caused by hormonal changes due to:
Menstruation
Pregnancy -- breast tenderness tends to be more common during the first trimester and in women who are pregnant at a young age
Puberty -- in both girls and boys
Breast feeding
Approach of menopause -- once your menstrual periods have stopped completely, breast tenderness often goes away unless you are taking hormone replacement therapy
Alcoholism with liver damage
Fibrocystic breast changes
Injury
Mastitis
Premenstrual syndrome
Fibrocystic breast tissue is common. Such tissue contains breast lumps and bumps that tend to be more tender just before your menstrual period.
Certain medications may also cause breast pain, including digitalis preparations, aldomet, aldactone. certain diuretics, anadrol, and chlorpromazine.
Shingles can lead to pain felt in the breast if the painful blistering rash appears on the skin over one of your breasts.
Call your doctor if you have:
Discharge from your nipples, especially blood or pus
Given birth within the last week and your breasts are swollen or hard
Signs of a breast infection, including localized redness, pus, or fever
Noticed a new lump associated with the pain that does not go away after your menstrual period
Persistent, unexplained breast pain
