One of the first symptoms of pregnancy is breast pain. A woman tends to experience more sensitivity when they are pregnant at a young age or during their first pregnancy.

Generally, during the first trimester of pregnancy they experience pain, their breasts grow in size, and blue veins become visible that indicate increase in blood flow.
Breastfeeding
When a woman has just had a child, she will tend to experience breast pain independent of if she chooses to breast feed or not due to the increase in milk.

But you should pay special attention if the pain is frequent, intense, or doesn’t improve, because it can indicate possible mastitis.
Mastitis
This problem is an inflammation of the breasts, which comes from the obstruction of the milk ducts.

This happens due to an infection in the breast, caused by a virus, bacteria, or fungus. The symptoms that you should be aware of are reddening in the breasts, pain, and especially fever.
Cysts in the Breasts
Breast cysts are a type of sack filled with liquid that form inside the breasts. These are formed when normal mammary glands increase in size, which can be just one or more.

These cysts tend to be benign and are characterized by producing pain in the breasts. When they are big in size, you can feel them by touching them, but some require a mammogram or a sonogram to be detected.
Abscesses in the Breasts
Breast abscesses are accumulations of pus in the mammary tissue. Basically, it is an infection. This problem can produce breast pain, they may feel like soft bulges, and is generally caused by bacteria that enter the breasts through cracks in the nipples or from breastfeeding problems.

Independent of their cause, the best idea is to consult a doctor so they can do the necessary exams and offer the proper treatment.
Breast Cancer
As we mentioned in the beginning, many women tend to relate breast pain with breast cancer but in general this is not the case.

Breast pain is one of symptoms that takes the longest to appear when you are suffering from breast cancer.

It is possible that if a women detects any abnormalities in their breasts and treats it on time, they won’t feel any breast pain from cancer.
