What Causes Tenderness In The Left Side Of The Breast?

Hi doctor, I had a tenderness on my left breast back in May...the mammogram showed everything was fine. I still get the tenderness in the same area, went to the doctor today... She referred me for an ultrasound. I had twins 16 months ago... I m 43 years old. Should I be worried?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Tenderness in the breast could be due to hormonal imbalance, fibrocystic disease, infection of breast tissue.
I would also suggest to consult the surgeon and undergo USG scan to find any hidden pathology.
Specific treatment will depend on the cause
Meanwhile
Do gentle massage with evening prime rose oil
Birth control pill can be useful to relieve the pain
Apply warm pad application, tablet ibuprofen
Wear full padded supportive bra
Avoid caffeine containing product, excessive salt and alcohol
Drink plenty of water and do regualr exercise like breathing and relaxation exercise.
Hope this may help you
