Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Do not know.: Pain in one breast could be related to a cyst or a fibroadenoma. There could be pain from trauma of the breast. Breast cancer would not be a frequent reason for breast pain. Exercise with a bra that is lacking in support is also a possible cause.

Dr Munshower and another doctor agreed
