Hello, I am 19 years old, i do not believe I have breast cancer or anything like that but i have a few questions. My breasts have felt really sore recently. I checked out some info on what your breast is made up of, and when i move my fingers around its sore. There are no lumps or anything odd than before, just really sore. I am a size 38 C , could my breasts growing larger produce pain when i squeeze my boob? Or could it be the fact im worried that i squeeze it to much that it becomes sore to squeeze? im not really sure, as much info as possible about womens breasts and signs please. THanks

~~*~~ There is a gland that runs into our breasts that can cause them be be sore when our hormone levels are high. Our breasts also tend to become swollen with water weight. This can happen when we are a week prior to or on our period or if we are pregnant. It is also common when a new birth control is started or if birth control has not been taken as regularly as usual. Another option is that you are indeed pregnant and you do not have enough of the pregnancy hormone to show on the test. Call your Dr and get another test. You can get help from there. If it is a bra issue, try "sister sizing". By doing that you would wear a 36D instead. (I used to work for a popular lingerie shop.)Good luck!!

Usually soreness in and of itself is not a concern. If there is a particular spot that is sore may be more of something to worry about. And, yes, you could be squeezing them too much. Stop that for a few days and see what happens. If they continue to be sore maybe you should see a doctor.

That happens to me too. Funny story, I asked my boyfriend to feel them to see if they felt bigger, they didn't. Well after his grope session we ended up having sex and lo and behold, I had just gotten my period. V. gross, and V. embarrassing, but whatever. Don't worry, if you've take the preggers test you're probably just really close to your period. don't be surprised if you wake up in the middle of the night soon to find you've just gotten your period.
If in a week or so you're still tender and still haven't gotten your period go to your gyno or a clinic and get tested just in case you are pregnant (but I take your word that you are not)
Also, coming from a 34 D, your boobs may be getting larger, but seeing as you're 19, I highly doubt it. Also, if you've gained or lost weight recently that could be a factor as well as how much you are exercising.
*sigh* I also have other theories. Your bra may be the wrong size, which is common with a lot of women, and that could be causing pain. The drop and rise in temperature plays into your pain as well. My last theory is that if you run regularly, your sports bra may not be quite as firm holding as you may think. Try to get an underwire sports bra as it give more support.
I hope all is well.
Good Luck!

Guess what: I had the exact thing happen at the exact same age! It ended up being cystic fibroids (not cystic fibrosis - that's totally different).
The doctor told me to stay away from two things: caffeine and citrus.
You'll be relieved to know that breast cancer doesn't typically cause pain in the early stages, so it probably isn't that.
HOWEVER, you do need to see your GYN. Let them run an ultrasound on you. It isn't evasive, and it will tell you for certain what it is. For me, I got to where I'd scream if somebody barely hugged me. They don't go away, but the pain does go away. You'll have sorer boobs during period time.
It's important to get it checked out for certain, because you can never be too careful. Meanwhile, PLEASE cut out all citrus and caffeine.
Good luck

Your breast could be growing some. Consider the following though, are you about to have your period? Are you sexually active? Which I'm sure you know what that means. Is your bra not the right fit? How do you sleep at night? Have you gotten alot of exercise lately, more than usual?

It is very likely that your breasts are sore because you are close to or are having your period - but they could also be sore because you are drinking too many colas with caffine - you could have fibrocystic lumps in your breasts that you are not detecting in a self exam.
I have fibrocystic lumps in my breasts, and complained for years to my doctor that they hurt...for years he told me to give up caffine....when I finally listened to him and did...they quit hurting.

I used to get really tender breasts about a week before starting my period. So perhaps it is that. On the other hand, that could be seen as a sign of pregnancy. So, it could be either end of the spectrum.

Well, when they are sore, sometimes it's because lack of "support". Maybe you are wearing too loose of a bra. Usually, what does the trick is wearing a sports bra for a while. If you wear something more supportive, it helps. This problem is common for people who have size C and bigger. Don't be too worried.
