My Breasts hurt when I touch them
It seems like whenever I touch my Breasts I feel really sore and the pain seeme to be there all night and day. What should I do?
Hi Wendi - Unless your breasts are swollen/hot, itchy and or red, as well as being painful, this almost certainly has nothing to do with breast cancer. Sounds like a hormonal issue to me. Probably best to go to the doctor to see what's up; no sense being in pain all the time when there's probably something that can help you. Good luck - PJH

my breasts are killing me as well, whenever I toucj them or bang into something. They are not itchy, red or swollen so I do not think I have breast cancer. I'm starting to think I am pregnant because this is how they felt last time when I was pregnant, but the only thing is that my boyfriend has not came in me.. he's pulled it out or we havent had sex..ANY ANSWERS!!!

Breast pain can sometimes occur during the weeks before your period is due. It may be something that comes and goes.
I must warn you in terms of the pregancy front is although your boyfriend my have pulled out before ejaculating there is still soem risk as pre-cum does contain sperm. You may want to think of alternative measures when having intercourse.
Back to the breast pain, it is a good idea to take note of when the pain occurs in corelation to your period and if it seems cyclonic then it is just hormonal however if the pain is constant and has no relation to your period I advise you to see a doctor.
I had always heard breast cancer isn't painful. Boy was I wrong - I had the pain, but I also had stage 3 breast cancer. So if the breast is painful or looks different (inverted nipple, discharge, etc.) see a doctor immediately.
Ask if you have dense, fiborous breast tissue. If you do, demand an MRI. I had 30+ normal mammograms, and the tumors engulfed my whole breast (the large one was 4"), but they didn't show up on the mammogram because of the fibrous tissue.
