Answer 1

Please do not get freightened. Do you have this pain in both of your breasts. if so cancer is ruled out. the other reasons etc. are given below. please see - Please also consult your doctor ASAP.

Breast pain is a common problem in younger women who are still having periods (menstrual cycles). It is less common in older women. The pain can be in one breast or in both. It may come and go each month, or it may last for several weeks, or even months.

What causes breast pain?
Many things can cause pain or tenderness in your breasts. Here are some of them:

Hormone changes during your period
Water retention, which may happen during your period
Injury to your breast
Pregnancy
Breast-feeding (nursing)
An infection in the breast
Breast cancer (not a usual cause of breast pain)
If you have breast pain that lasts for a long time or keeps coming back, it's probably a good idea to talk to your doctor about it.

Your doctor will ask you questions to find the cause of your pain and decide if you need treatment. He or she may ask you to describe the pain and where in your breast area you feel it. Your doctor will also check to see if you have lumps in your breasts.

If you're younger than 35 years of age and don't have a breast lump, your doctor might decide that you don't need any tests. If you're older than 35 years of age and don't have a breast lump, your doctor may still want you to get a mammogram. A mammogram is a special x-ray of the breasts.

If you do have a lump (or several lumps) in your breast, your doctor might decide that you need one or more of these tests:

A mammogram
A breast sonogram. This painless test uses sound waves to make a picture of the lump.
A breast biopsy. For this test, some tissue is taken out of your breast and looked at under a microscope.

There are different treatments for breast pain depending on what is causing it. You and your doctor can talk about these treatments and choose one or more that might work for you. Here are some possible treatments for breast pain:

Wearing a support bra
Taking an over-the-counter pain medicine
Taking danazol (brand name: Danocrine) -- for severe pain
Other treatments for breast pain are sometimes used. However, there is no proof that these treatments work:

Avoiding caffeine
Using less salt
Taking vitamin E or vitamin B6
Taking a "water-pill" (a diuretic)
Most of the time, breast pain goes away on its own after a few months

Answer 2

I'm sorry you're in pain. Do you usually have breast pain during or after your period? Try very warm, moist washcloths as a compress, warm shower or bath and take Tylenol/Motrin. Nuts do not cause breast pain and this is Women's Health so I won't take up space talking about nuts. If the pain doesn't resolve or lessen in a day or two, see your OB/Gyn.

Answer 3

You may have water retention. that might be the cause of your pain. Do a breast self exam,if pain persists go to the doctor. A few nuts are good for you, but remember they are high in fat content.

Answer 4

Breast pain is , unfortunately, a byproduct of menstration. If this is seriously bothering you, you might want to consult with your regular doctor or you gynocologist-best of luck!
