A member asked:

18yrs old- i have been experiencing random sharp pains on the side of my left breast. it has been going on for a couple of days. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast pain: Most breast pain in your age group are benign. Sharp, short lived pain are less likely related to the breast itself and may be caused by a variety of other reasons. You will need a thorough history and exam to sort this out. This means you will need a visit to see your doc.
