A member asked:

What could be common reasons for having sore boobs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cycle related: Depending on exactly when and whether just one or both breasts are affected, the more common causes are premenstrual, pregnancy, and breast cysts ("fibrocystic disease"). It is extremely unusual for breast cancers to present with pain, and infections are generally associated with some sort of trauma or breast feeding.
