Q: breast pain and nipple pain in my left breast for 2.5 years. i m now pregnant 30 weeks and it starts again from 5 weeks. my last mammogram was in oct 2010 one month before preg.i have a family history
Llili, since you have had the breast and nipple pain for over two years off and on, this is probably not a breast cancer symptom. Hormonal changes are one cause of breast pain and during pregnancy, your body is experiencing lots of hormonal changes. However, it is on just one side, so there may be some other underlying problem besides hormones. Be sure to discuss this with a doctor at your next prenatal appointment. If you feel your OB-GYN isn't taking your concerns seriously enough, ask for a referral to a breast specialist.
I hope your third trimester goes well and that you are soon holding your precious baby.
