Could Having Pain In Breast Be Due To Breast Cancer?
My breasts have been hurting for months.....thought it was due to gaining a little weight (7 pounds) and breasts also got bigger. Went to my doctor the other day for my annual exam, she noticed that I have dense breasts and when she touched them on the outside area, they hurt. Sending me to get a mammogram with and ultrasound. I am 41, healthy and scared. Could I have breast cancer?

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Pain is not really a symptom for breast cancer, especially in early stages. For somebody of your age with these symptoms, I would think of benign breast disease first. Mammo and USg will be done to confirm it only.
Hope this helps.
