A member asked:
I am around my period but i feel only one side of my breast heavier and when i touch it hurts why? is it cancer? or period can only affect one breast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormonal changes can affect the breast but generally it is on both sides. cancer of the breast takes a months/ years to develop and is not painful at start. If it persists pl get checked out by your doc/surgeon for it could be something else. Wish you well
