It is common to have sore breasts around the beginning of your period, or menstruation. A week or so before your period starts, the body begins producing lots of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.\n\nThese hormones can cause feelings that together are called premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. Some girls have painful cramps in their stomachs, headaches, mood swings, or cravings for certain foods right before their periods begin. During this time the body may retain water, which can make a girl feel puffy and bloated. Rings and shoes may feel tight at this time.\n\nJust as fingers and feet swell, so can breasts. All that fluid forces the breast tissues to expand, which stretches the nerves and makes breasts feel achy or tender.\n\nWhat Can I Do to Relieve the Ache?\nMost PMS symptoms, including breast soreness, should disappear as your period begins. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen might be helpful. Wearing a supportive bra might also help.\n\n \nI really hope this helps you.  I use to have breast soreness so bad that I used ice to relieve the pain.  Make sure you do regular check ups on your breasts to make sure there are no lumps.\nGod Bless.

You should have restarted having your periods by now and should not have pain instead of having a period.  Please see your doctor to get tested to determine what the cause may be.

Prior to your menses your body releases a chemical called progesterone to preserve the lining of you uterus in the event you are to conceive.\n\nThe progesterone stimulates another hormone called oxytocin which may cause breast or nipple sensitivity and sometimes tenderness.\n\nIt is nothing to worry about, but if it bothers you you could try using over the counter pain meds like advil or try a looser fitting bra during that time of the month.

See your doctor.  Chest pain is not something to fool around with, period.  It might just be anxiety, but it could be something a whole lot worse.  Go to your doctor and put your mind at ease.

To reduce the pain?  See which works better - a bra that makes you not move at all, or no bra.  When I've had really sensitive breasts (just from PMSing and having my period every other week for a while) I just switched back and forth.  \n\nTake ibprofuen  Drink lots of water in case it's an infection.\n\nTake long hot baths, and try to relax.\n\nIf it's been going on this long, you need to go to the doctor.  Tell your parents how bad it is bothering you.  It's really bad for you to be having your sleep cycle so disturbed by pain.

That is exactly how I felt a few months ago when I first realized something was "wrong"; I was pregnant. I thought the cramps were menstrual cramps, but it was something else. Then, the tingling in the boobs changed to extreme soreness... horrible! Congrats if this is what you want... sorry if it is not. :o)

You don't always get tender breasts...but you don't get your period when you are pregnant.\nVaginal bleeding (spotting) is not the same thing as a period.\n\nOk...The first period after you are pregnant is fine. If you are bleeding in the months after, then it is NOT your period. It's something else.

It due in part to the nervous system because during menstruation the body goes into a slight shock that effects various parts of the body including the nervous system.  Hormones are released into the body that also causes some of the body's system to go into a reaction mode.  During various stages it can cause nipples to get harder, breast to become more tender, skin to be softer and so on.

it sounds like milk to me, which should not form without a pregnancy but it can happen when you have an overload of hormones, you should see a doctor, and you should stop having sex until you do. breast cancer doesnt happen because you have been pregnant or have taken medicine. it happens to anyone at any age , even men, and no one really knows why,

This could be caused from breast strain.  Maybe you need a bra with better support.  Another possibility could be fibroids caused by too much caffeine consumption.  They can be painful.  If it is really bothering you, go to your doctor.  Breast pain can be caused by a lot of things, and what might not normally hurt a different part of your body could cause you tremendous pain in your breast area because they are so sensitive.

Sometimes before your period your breasts will become tender.  Also your breasts will become tender if you are pregnant.  They don't usually hurt if they are growing.  You should maybe see your doctor.\n\nGood Luck To You :)

I was told by my doctor that too much caffeine can cause cysts to form in the breasts (nothing cancerous, but they could cause tenderness).  However, you have to have a very large intake over a very long time for this to happen.  Some women also have tenderness during ovulation or right before ther period.  If could also be from working out too strenously (especially any cardio that has a lot of up and down movements, or any weights using the arms and pecs).  If it's something you've never felt before, gets worse in a day, or lasts longer than 2-3 days, you should probably go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.

I had those symptoms and had a small ovarian cyst.  The doctor wasn't worried about me, either.  Many women get small cysts that come and go with menstruation at times.  They told me it shouldn't cause symptoms, but I sure felt different symptoms for about two months!  My breasts were extremely sore those two months, too!  Then, it just went away.

I've had the same problem twice this year!  I just bought a new bra, then less than a month later, I found myself having to go up a size.  Anyway, hormones are most likely the cause of this.  Pregnancy could also be a cause.  Make sure you keep very close track of your menstrual cycle...even mark these different changes that you may notice from time to time (break outs, breast growth, cycle length, etc.).  If you find that they are becoming severely sore, you may want to pay a visit to your doctor.
