breast pain
Heyoo.
I am 18 and I've been experiencing breast pain, but not in my nipples. I am a size 32 a, and have been for years. I've checked other websites about this, and they've all said is pregnancy. I am not pregnant. I highly doubt the pain is linked to my periods since the pain is all the time. I've wondered if this could be growing pains? But I wasn't for sure since I am older with the same cup size.
Any advice is appreceiated!
Thanks bunches:3

You're of an age to begin having regular gynecology appointments during which a breast exam is usual as well as a vaginal one.
It is a smart thing to see a dr to rule out anything like cancer or something. It can but usually doesn't occur at your age.
Yes, I agree with the thought that a young woman can have a later in life growth spurt. So my guess is also that most likely it is growth related.
I myself have experienced that at times in my life, not with period but all the time.
Another thing that will change breast size too is becoming pregnant. Nursing will increase your size too. Even after nursing your size can change. Some stay larger, go back to original size or go to much less as I did. I was disappointed when going from a C+ while nursing to A or less after nursing instead of going back to my Usually B cup. It took a long time but eventually went back to B. Now at my older years, I fluctuate over the yrs between B and C and I dont have a weight problem, petite and only gain and lose 10 lbs naturally without dieting. So if a Dr. gives a clean bill of health, don't worry about these changes, you will feel a tenderness, light pain in the breast with most these kinds of changes.

None of us on this site are doctors so we can not make any type of diagnoses. The best thing for you to do is make an appointment with your GYN for an examination and let the doctor tell you what is going on.
As to your thoughts of growing pains. It may surprise you to learn you may not be wrong in your thinking. Puberty can last into your early twenties. It is very possible your body is preparing to enlarge your cup size. The only way to know for sure is to let a doctor examine you.

It's difficult to say what could be wrong because we don't really know all the details. The best way for you to get your answer would be to just give a call to your doctor explaining your symptoms and if it's worth a visit. Because they'll know your medical history they can easily let you know if it's anything to worry about. IN addition, you'll know you'll be taking the proper precautions in case anything were to happen. It's better to be proactive about your health!
