Hello, pain in breast can be due to hormonal changes. You should not worry if there is no problem in physical examination and mammogram. It is not breast cancer.

If mammography is negative just keep a watch on lump if any. Some water retention is seen as tenderness in some women. Get bp checked and blood for sugar and lipids. Reduce salt and drink lots of water. Take potassium rich food like oranges and lemon juice and amla etc. Drink lots of water to flush out toxic elements from blood by producing more urine.
