Question 1

what does it mean when your period is 3 days late then when it comes it's irregular and your breast are tender?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: The first thing to rule out  is pregnancy, so my recommendations is that you get a pregnancy test as soon as you can. If negative, and if it keeps happening in the next cycle then other tests might be needed. Follow up with your doctor if symptoms persist.

Question 2

my breasts are tender could this mean npregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: If you have had unprotected intercourse - that is one possibility.  If you have missed your period - you can take a pregnancy test now.

Question 3

what does it mean if my breast is a little more tender than usual?

Accepted Answer

Breast tenderness: Hi, Hormonal changes, weight gain, a bra which does;t fit well, birth control pill could be the reasons.

Question 4

what exactly does it mean if you have really sore and tender nipples and breasts?

Accepted Answer

Fibrocystic changes: You could have fibrocystic changes. This is the most common cause of breast pain.  It can be aggravated by caffeine, stress, menstrual cycle and hormonal supplements. If you are over 40, then you should have a mammogram and ultrasound.  Please get evaluated by a breast specialist.

Question 5

what does it mean when right in between your breasts are sore. not like a sharp pain. just very tender ?

Accepted Answer

Usually benign: This is usually a benign finding. It can be associated with costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects your ribs to your breastbone.  Other muscle strains can cause it as well. As long as it's not associated with shortness of breath and is not severe, I would generally recommend trying ibuprofen and seeing your doctor if the pain persists.

Question 6

what does it mean when your breasts are sore and sensitive?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing: Such changes can occur during menses, pregnancy, periods of breast growth, sometimes when initiating ocps/hormonal birth control.  Monitor for any changes (e.g. Bumps, lumps, etc..) with routine breast self exams.  Additionally, if symptoms are persistent, see your health care provider.
