A member asked:

My breast feel heavy and fuller if that makes sence they are tender and sore to the touch does this mean they are just growing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: this is more common with heavy caffeine use, cigarette smoking, pregnancy and when you have PMS. While some breast growth is possible, you don't really hear about growing pains in the breast. If sexually active check a pregnancy test.
