POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy7 months agoA. Pain in your right breast can have several possible causes, ranging from hormonal changes to breast infections or muscle strain. Since you've had a fibroid in your breast for five years, it’s important to monitor any changes carefully.
Possible Causes of Breast Pain:
✔ Hormonal Changes – Common before periods or during ovulation.
✔ Blocked Milk Duct (If Breastfeeding) – Can cause engorgement or mastitis.
✔ Fibrocystic Changes – Lumpy, tender breasts due to hormonal fluctuations.
✔ Muscle Strain – Pain due to incorrect posture, heavy lifting, or sleeping position.
✔ Infection (Mastitis or Abscess) – Symptoms include swelling, redness, and fever.
✔ Cyst or Fibroadenoma Growth – If the pain is persistent, it’s good to check if your fibroid has changed.
What You Can Do?
🔹 Apply a warm compress to ease pain and swelling.
🔹 Wear a well-fitted bra for proper support.
🔹 Take a mild pain reliever (like paracetamol) if needed.
🔹 Massage gently if breastfeeding to relieve blocked ducts.
🔹 Monitor for lumps, redness, or nipple discharge and see a doctor if any appear.
If the pain persists for more than a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by a lump or skin changes, consult a doctor for an evaluation. Let me know if you have any other symptoms!
