ok so im a 17 year old female. I got my period bk in grade 9 and im going into grade 12. Well for the past couple of days my boobs are really sore. I dont know why, cause when i touch them they just feel really sore and the tissue around my boob is sore to touch to. It like right around my boob at the base where its hurts and the sides of my breasts. Any one know why this is? i think it could be cause they are growing, but im not sure. Any advice or answers would help me out alot. Does this mean i have cancer or something? im paranoid so tons of things are going through my mind. Thank you so much! Really appreicate it!
I looked it up on google, and it said that your boobs stop growing when you're about 17 or 18. Whatever your cup size is by then is pretty much what you'll be for the rest of your life. So what it could be is you're just finally coming out of puberty, and it's your body's way of balancing everything out.
It also said that it could be a cyst (kind of like what people get under their armpits; wherever there's alot of sensative nerves). Breast tissue has alot of nerve endings, so it is possible, and very easy for them to get infected every once in awhile. It should go away on its own, but if it lasts longer than a couple weeks you should go get it checked out by a doctor so they can drain the cyst if it doesn't take care of itself.
It happens less and less as you get older, but it does happen.
Totally normal, and it can be taken care of if need be. [ lindsay10's advice column | Ask lindsay10 A Question ]
