A member asked:

Why do my right breast feel so heavy, tender, painful and swollen-like?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Congestion: Congestion of breast tissue brought on by hormonal influences around menstrual period is common,but usually affects both breasts equally. It still is likely to be the explanation in your case, but if symptoms don't resolve, consult your physician.
