A member asked:

Breasts hurt when i press down on them. doesn't hurt when i don't touch them or walk. would this be a pregnancy symptom?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A pressing issue: Breasts will naturally hurt when the tissue is compressed. Soreness of the breast can be suggestive of pregnancy if a period was missed, but the best determinate of pregnancy is a positive pregnancy test.
