Hormonal surge: Many women with breast pain are afraid they may have breast cancer. But breast pain is rarely linked to breast cancer. Estrogen peaks in the middle of the cycle, which is where you are, and causes pain frequently. Progesterone levels rise during the 2nd half of the cycle and causes the milk glands to swell near your period. Treatments include Sports Bra, no caffeine, ice, low fat foods.
