Brief Answer:
She may need to do an ultrasound

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

If she is expecting the menstrual cycle soon, in one or two days it can be related to it. I think she may need an ultrasound to check the breast and find the reason of pain. Inflammation of the ducts can be a reason of it.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

So what kind of ultrasound she needs to do?

Does she has to do abdomen ultrasound or breast ultrasound sound?

Are breast ultrasound is same like abdomen or what?

Also she thinks at work she lift some box and it hurt on breast but she do not remember that exactly.
