Can a kidney infection cause you to have breast pains?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Would not expect it: Kidneys are located towards the back at the level of the lowest ribs. Usually people with pyelonephrirtis (infection in the kidney) or kidney stones experience pain in this area. I would not expect breast pains. I would recommend getting a sonogram of the breast if the pain does not go away to make sure it is not a cyst. If any redness, mass, or hardness over the breast see the doctor right away.

Should not,: That i know of. Think of more likely causes like time of the period or medication intake.
