lump in breast with sharp pain
Posted: 02-20-08 11:12am

The other day my boyfriend brought to my attention something "weird" he felt in my breast. He showed me where it was and it is the same place where i have been having a sharp pains. The pains happen maybe 5-7 times a week, and don't last for long, just a few minutes. I know that sometimes you can get lumps in your breasts from drinking too much caffine, but I usually only have a soda times a week and never drink any other caffine. I was at the gyno a about two months ago and she didn't say she felt anything weird. Should I get it checked out? Is the pain and lump normal?

I would get it checked out. I heard the other day that in most cases, it's the men who feel something different in their wife or girlfriend's breasts. If there's ever a doubt, get it checked out! Pain like that, not really normal. I'd get it checked out.

How old are you? Any hormonal changes like pregnancy, birth control, etc.?

I am 25. I'm not on birth control and haven't really had any medical changes.

Yeah, I'd definitely get it checked out. If in doubt, check it out!! And don't worry too much, even if it is a legitimate lump, chances are, it's nothing dangerous.

It's probably cysts or inflammation of the milk ducts. The generally-held wisdom is that if it hurts, then it isn't anything deadly!

Nevertheless, you need to have a breast specialist check it out. If it is a cysts, it is easily dealt with.

I agree. I would get it checked out just in case. It's always better safe than sorry.
