A member asked:

During pms and my period i feel a painful breast lump, but then i can't feel it or any pain once my period passes...and then this repeats. what is it?

Beast lump: changes in breast occur in response to the different hormon levels during your cycle. The lump could be a cyst or a fibroadenoma. It's important to have it evaluated by a physician. An ultrasound would be helpful.
