No cancer: Pain in the breast is rarely associated with cancer. It usually is a reflection of fibrocystic disease. When hormones no longer act of the breast tissue, they switch to the milk ducts which causes partial closure of the terminal breast ducts tissue. As such fluid builds up in the duct producing a tender inflammatory milk duct cyst. At the end of hormone stimulation the cysts and pain regress.
