Doctor insights on: Causes Of My Breast Cramps

It may be: Among other things, due to hormonal fluctuations that would probably both improve with a birth control pill. That is, unless they are not related but coincidental. It could be breast pain and a bladder infection or another type of issue but let's assume hormonal. Try some short term aleve (naproxen) or ibuprofin until u get in.

Breastfeeding: Yes, you can get cramps. Find a milk consultant who can help you feed your baby properly

Cramps: Depending on where you are at in your cycle, it could be ovulatory pain causing the cramping or the start of your period. You could have a yeast infection causing the vaginal itching and the breast tenderness can be caused by various factors including possible pregnancy or the onset of your period.

It could be from: Hormonal stimulation. Check for breast lumps. See your dr for any worsening symptoms. Take care!

Needs to be checked: Your symptoms may be due to either esophageal reflux which may be made worse due to Ibuprofen you are taking heart palpitations may be related to your thyroid condition get it checked by your doctor meanwhile stop Ibuprofen and try over the counter acid suppression meds like Omeprazole or ranitidine but consult your doctor asap.

Breast cancer?: The possibility of breast cancer must be considered. And with all that vaginal bleeding you probably have or will soon develop iron deficiency anemia. This will not get better by itsel. See a doctor pronto.

Muscle cramping: You could be experiencing muscle cramping of the chest wall muscles. Be sure to stay hydrated, eat foods high in potassium, stretch out well before going on the walk.

YES: Never ignore ongoing left sided pain that travels down the left jaw, shoulder chest and breast. I suggest immediate examination and EKG.

Cramps: Usually those symptoms are associated with the start of a period, hormonal causes.

Consider being pregn: You may have a vaginal infection or you may be pregnant which is more likely. If you have access to pregnancy tests you should do one now in a week. No matter how it turns out you need to see a health care professional.

Many: There are many causes, but one of the more common cause could be ovulation which would cause both pain on one side as well as breast tenderness. However if the pain is worsening or not improving in a short period of time, an evaluation by your doctor may be needed.

Breakthrough bleed: What you're describing sounds most likely to be breakthrough bleeding. That is bleeding that occurs earlier then it should for your cycle. Very common. If any concern for pregnancy, recommend home pregnancy test on first morning urine. If negative, repeat in 7 to 10 days. If this bleeding issue continues for the next one or two cycles, see your GYN provider. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck

Pregnancy: Home or physician-run pregnancy test is the first thing you should do.

Missing: Missing 3 days of birth control definitely puts you at risk for pregnancy. The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. You can either take a home pregnancy test as long as it has been 5- 6 weeks since your last normal period, or you can go see your doctor and they can test you - whichever is easier for you. A home pregnancy test is 97% accurate if taken a week or more after the missed period. A blood test can tell if you are pregnant as soon as 7 days after conception and a doctor's urine pregnancy test can tell if you are pregnant around when you next period should come. I also attached some information on the birth control pill and what to do if you miss any.

Other way around: Ovulation can cause thick uterine lining and the other symptoms. It's not the thick lining that causes the ovulation. We used to think that women with pof never ovulated again. But more recent research shows that they will have random spontaneous ovulations more often that we thought possible.

Many causes: Breast soreness can be from weight changes, diet changes, caffeine intake, hormonal fluctuations, cysts, smoking, changes in bras, exercise and many other causes. Not sure exactly what you mean by hip cramps. If you mean pain in the pelvic area then uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, colon, intestine and other organs could be to blame. A more detailed history is needed to narrow it down.

Pelvic pain: Pelvic pain is complex as there are several organs in the pelvis. The ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, bladder, appendix, intestines, colon and rectum can all be the source. Pelvic pain requires and examination to help organize the evaluation.

Lots of reasons: Breast pain in a young women your age is unlikely to be cancer. Fibrocystic breast tissue is common. This is an abundance of hormone sensitive dense breast tissue that can be tender and painful. Any breast pain though should be evaluated by your doctor by an exam.

Maybe. Or wait.: Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. If not pregnant, other causes of a late or missed period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (especially birth control pills), hormonal disorders, etc… A urine pregnancy test is very accurate 3 weeks after sex or 1 week after missing a period.

Potentially pregnant: No menstrual period for two months, breast swelling, and headaches can all be indicators of a change in hormone pattern, including pregnancy. A home urine pregnancy test would be the first step to take.
