What Does Tenderness Under The Breast Indicate?

The last 2 days i’ve been experiencing extreme tenderness on bottom side of 1 breast. I’m not breastfeeding (stopped about 4 years ago), I’m 44 and my last mammogram was over the summer. All was well except that they want me back later this year due to me having dense breast tissue. So far no discharge, I did slightly try hand expressing breasmilk to see if that would yield anything, but nothing - was afraid to get too into it. Only thing that’s different recently is I’ve been using a heating pad on my back last few days for consistent muscular back pain.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

After going through your description, I also suggest you go through mammogram again to make sure that dense tissue is not increasing in size. If possible get a biopsy done of the dense tissue of the breast.

If nothing is wrong in this reports means it's fibro cystitis tenderness of breast due to age. For that start, vitamin E capsule 400-600 IU 24 hourly for 15 days.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
