Overview
Breast pain can be categorized into 2 main clinical patterns, cyclical and non cyclical.
Classification
It can be subdivided into 2 main clinical patterns:
- Cyclical when the pain is worse prior to each menstrual cycle
- This may occur with a woman's natural menstrual cycles and is not due to any hormone or breast disease.
- It may be caused by use of hormonal contraception.
- Non-cyclical when the pain is unrelated to periods.
- It may be related to the underlying muscle.
- Trauma and resulting hematoma
- Infection is sometimes responsible, particularly during times of breast feeding.
- Breast engorgement during breast feeding (mastitis)
- Arthritis pain in the chest or neck felt as if it is coming from the breast.
