Hi,
The breasts develop due to an increase in estrogen during puberty. During the menstrual cycle, various hormones cause changes in breast tissue that can lead to pain or discomfort in some women. Breast pain, also called mastalgia, is a common condition among women.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Monish De, Oncologist
