Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query about your friend, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history of pain in breast of your friend and she is worried that it may be serious, wants to know whether this is because of size, will go for check-up...
Broad outline of the pain in breast:
Most of the problems in breast which are painful are benign means not cancerous.
The commonest cause is fibroadenosis, breast engorgement or fat necrosis.
So tell your friend not to worry unless proved otherwise.
I would advise her the following:
Consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination ask for mammography, ultrasound and FNAC if required to get an appropriate clinical diagnosis and proper management.
I hope this answer helps.
Please feel free to ask for any further relevant questions if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
Also tell me the following:
Her age?
Since when is the pain present?
Any relation to the menstrual cycle.
Any other information.
