I'm have pain in my breast. I am not able to wear bra. Can you tell me is it period pain or what? Becoz my period date is 8 september 2018. M also taking meprate tablets.

Question

Pain in the breasts could be due to cyclical mastalgia, fibrocystic disease, hormonal changes due to OC pills (meprate is a progesterone tablet, which can cause heaviness and pain in breast) or pregnancy, granulomatous mastitis, abscess, cysts and rarely cancer. The treatment would depend upon the cause. Most common cause is cyclical mastalgia due to fibrocystic changes, which usually resolve with time. Treatment may be given if severe pain. Better to see a breast surgeon who would examine you, ask for an ultrasound with and SOS core biopsy if needed. If you want to further discuss your symptoms, feel free to contact me directly.
