Pains in my breasts

Published by

I used to feel occasional pains in my breasts especially the right one. Please, what can I do. I am a 25-year-old spinster.

The use of some hormonal contraceptives and tight brassieres as well as some underlying diseases can lead to breast pains. Although you did not indicate whether or not you have any lumps in your breast, it will be a good idea for you to carry out some self examination of your breasts to rule out the possibilities of any lump. Even if there are no breast lumps, you can still have a mammography examination done to rule out any underlying cause of your breast pains. Meanwhile, the use of some common pain killers should give you some temporary relief.
