Not necessarily: this is more common with heavy caffeine use, cigarette smoking, pregnancy and when you have PMS.  While some breast growth is possible, you don't really hear about growing pains in the breast.  If sexually active check a pregnancy test.

Question 7

my breast feel heavy and sore and have blue veins on them for about 5 weeks now can they just be growing ?

Accepted Answer

Yes...: Welcome to womanhood! If sexually active, consider taking pregnancy test. If not, it's never too early to start breast self-exams, the same time every month, about 2-4 days after your cycle ends. Birth control can exacerbate these symptoms, so if relevant, consider discussing alternative hormone combinations/products. Fibroadenomatous breast tissue can be very painful.

Question 8

my breast feel heavy, swollen and like a burning sensation in my nipple area, i dont get my period anymore?

Accepted Answer

: At age "52", although menstruation has stopped, your pituitary is still stimulating your ovaries to force ovulation, which increases the levels of estrogen from the ovaries, creating breast tenderness, and swelling. Ask your GYN physician about low dose oral bcp's which will stop ovarian estrogen production and ease the breast symptoms.

Question 10

how can i lose breast weight?

Accepted Answer

Breast weight: If you were to lose weight in general, your breasts will thin somewhat as well. If there is excessive breast weight only but you're not overweight otherwise, it is prudent to have it addressed with your doctor as there may be something hormone related that warrants evaluation. In the absence of abnormal hormonal findings, breast reduction is a possibility.
