Hello,

You are suffering from pain left breast. You are suggested not to wear wire bra, tight bra that is uncomfortable. Wear bra that are made of soft cotton or you should prefer wearing slips. Medical condition that causes pain breast are rib cage problems (inflamed ribs), lung problem like pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, fibromyalgia, breasts benign lumps, hormonal causes, etc.

However, get clinically examined and get mammogram and all required tests, biopsy if required done as in inflammatory breast cancer it is possible to feel pain in the initial stages. In inflammatory breast cancer you do not feel a mass, you may experience pain in the right or left breast as the only symptom. Get examined by a GP / oncologist and get biopsy done (if required done) to rule out malignancy.

Stay away from addictions if any. Include anti cancer food in your regular diet and high vitamin C diet. Avoid highly processed, packaged food. Take food that is fresh, healthy, balanced and home made. Prefer boiled food and olive oil over oily food and other cooking oils.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
