Question : Hi I am having normal period cycles and my last period was on December 2nd and I am facing pain in my breast when touched or banged into something usually when I had my periods near a day or two before I did experience the similar pain but now it is too early as I have 11 days more for my periods. Can you please suggest is it normal or should I visit a doctor?

Brief Answer:
It is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It is quite normal.
It is a hormonal event, and some days of the cycle you may feel more breast sensitivity and tenderness.
I hope there is no history of cancer in the family or in the past ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
