About 2 weeks ago, I noticed my left breast is a little bigger than the other. It's always been a tiny bit bigger, but it's never been this noticeable. When I look down, I can definitely see a difference.
They both hurt, and my nipples have been swollen for days.
Also, I've been having irregular periods for the past year. It's been skipping every other month, and when I got my period in late June, the next one didn't come until mid September.
But I just got my period tonight. So I think my cycles are back to normal.
I know my stressful life had a lot to do with skipping periods, but everything is back to normal and I am no longer stressed out, that's why I think my periods are normal again.
(I'm thinking maybe my breasts hurting so much might have to do with my cycles?)
But I still don't know why my breasts hurt so much and my nipples are swollen. What's wrong? Should I be worried?
I'm 21 years old, I eat right and exercise.
Women only please, and serious answers.
Thank you

Try doing a self breast exam. Check for lumps. It's better to do that while you're in the shower because the heat soothes the muscles. Something serious could be wrong so you should see a doctor real soon if they keep hurting.

Yes, the waiting for your period can cause the breasts to be sore all over including the nipple (I used to have this as well).
One of the things I found helpful to me was to get a larger sized bra and now I don't hurt as much.
I would also recommend talking to your doctor to see what they say.

When you have your period your breasts do swell and hurt so I don't think it's anything to worry about, but if the pain gets too much or carries on after your period has finished go and see your gp.

Sorry I'm not a woman, but, yes, breast tenderness and swelling is often a part of the premenstrual interval. If the discomfort lasts for longer than a week, you should consult your doctor.

well your breast usually hurt close to your period. Maybe your just going through a irregular stage right now.
