Breast pain

[Minnie2013]

I’m 52 and going thru the perimenopause , haven’t had a period for about 5 months.

Does anyone else suffer from breast pain just in one breast ? It’s on and off and is like a sudden shooting pain, no lumps or anything else unusual, just a sudden sharp pain now and then and only in my right breast, is this my hormones !

🙂 Breast soreness related to perimenopause will likely feel different from the soreness you may have felt at other times in your life. Menstrual breast pain usually feels like a dull ache in both breasts. It often occurs right before your period.

Breast pain during perimenopause is more likely to feel like burning or soreness. You may feel it in one breast or both breasts. Not all women experience breast discomfort in the same way. The pain may feel sharp, stabbing, or throbbing.

The same hormones that cause overall breast soreness during perimenopause may also lead to tender or sensitive areas within your breasts.

🙂If you need reassurance don’t hesitate to speak to your GP
