breast cancer

We often associate pain with something wrong, so when women feel tenderness or pain in their breast they often assume the worst — breast cancer. However, breast pain is rarely the first noticeable symptom of breast cancer. Several other factors can cause the pain.
Breast pain — clinically called mastalgia — can also be caused by the following:
  • fluctuation of hormones caused by menstruation
  • a side effect of some birth control pills
  • a bra that doesn't fit
  • stress
