Breast Pain and Cancer

Breast pain is rarely a sign of cancer. Sore breasts could be a sign of a fibrocystic breast condition, a hormonal imbalance or even pregnancy. Discomfort or pain in both breasts is usually a benign condition. If you are worried, make an appointment and discuss your concerns with a trusted physician.
