Randomly breasts hurt, and bumps on areola. i am on continuous pill but near the last week, or is this common with pregnancy? could it be from pill?

Specializes in Psychiatry

The bumps on the: Areola are likely montgomery glands. They can enlarge with pregnancy. Breast pain could be the result of pregnancy, oral contraceptives, pms or your period. If you miss a period - then take a home pregnancy test. Take care.
