A member asked:
Mastaglia of breasts for years. recent mann/breast check-normal. can mastaglia make breast glands/ducts tender? what can help with tender breasts? thank you?

Mastalgia is the technical medical term for breast pain and tenderness, so it is a description rather than a cause and is not a cancer risk or marker. Fibrocystic breasts are commonly associated with tenderness and are hormone sensitive, but you should be well past hormone fluctuations that might exacerbate things. Caffeine reduction (coffee, chocolate, sodas) can be helpful.
