Breast pain is a common concern and not usually caused by cancer. It can happen at anytime and is not always related to the menstrual cycle. It can be in both breasts, one breast, or in only one part of the breast. At times, the pain can go to other areas such as the armpit or down the arm. The cause of breast pain is unknown. It may be related to hormonal changes, fibrocystic changes in the breast, and cysts in the breast, breast surgery or irritation to the breast bone or rib. Breast pain may also be caused by wearing a bra that does not fit well. Seeing a trained bra fitter can help get the right fit and support for you. You should see a health care provider about any breast pain that does not go away, gets worse, and prevents you from sleeping or doing regular activities.
