Sabine answered Friday May 4 2007, 7:11 pm: I disagree with the advice below. You should see a doctor, not as an emergency, but at her next available appointment. If it were hormones, it might affect both breasts since hormones are in your blood and would go to both areas. If it's just developing tissue, then a doctor can tell you that. But even the smallest chance that it's cancer should be enough for you to go in and get it checked out. You don't give your age, but remember that cancer can happen at any age. It also could be developing tissue or a cyst. But you should get it checked out.
no, nothing's wrong, most-likely. it's probably just developing more a little faster than the other breast. it should subside in a few days to a week. no more than that.
if it does continue, i'd go to the doctor just to make sure everything is okay. you may even notice that the other breast's nipple is getting hard as well. if you are just beginning puberty, they are probably just developing at different times. if you are like, 16, then just give it a few days & it should subside. probably nothing serious.
if it begins hurting, just massage it. usually, this is a sign that your period just ended / is just about to start. so just be aware that your period maybe coming soon. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
