What Causes Delayed Periods And Tenderness In The Breasts?
Im about 14 days late for my period. Intercourse occurred the 28th with protection. He even pulled out before ejaculating and from what we saw, there were no leaks when he ejacualted. The only feeling I have now is tender breasts. I m stressed out and I ve heard it all about taking a test is the way to find out. I want to know opinions. Is it my stress holding me back? What is the solution?
Most causes of pain in the breast are benign and not serious. There are a number of harmless causes for breast pain and tenderness that may primarily be related to changes in hormone levels. These can include... Menstruation and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), Mastitis, Menopause and Fibrocystic Breast Tissue which is most common. Fibrocystic breasts are not necessarily linked to cancer, and the lumps are fluid-filled cysts rather than a mass of cells. However, it is advisable to do breast ultrasound and mammography just to be sure and start regular follow up of possible cysts. In case of redness, fever and progressive pain this may indicate abscess and then it should be surgically drained or evacuated by needle under control of ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
