Need Diagnostic Mamm: Breast pain may be a sign of cancer, however, breast pain is far more commonly due to benign processes. Prior to menopause, cyclic changes in hormone levels may lead to breast pain. Common medications including birth control pills and anti-depressants may cause pain. Rather than getting a screening mammogram, you should get a diagnostic one so that they can take a careful look @ the area of pain.
