Overview

Two thirds of breast pains are cyclical and one third have non cyclical cause.[1]

Cyclical breast pain is very often associated with fibrocystic breast changes or duct ectasia and believed to be caused by aberrations in dynamic hormonal changes mainly involving prolactin response to thyrotropin. Some degree of cyclical breast tenderness is normal in the menstrual cycle, and is usually associated with menstruation and/or premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Noncyclical breast pain has various causes and is harder to diagnose.It is more likely to be unilateral and variable in its location in the breast.Some degree of non-cyclical breast tenderness can normally be present due to hormonal changes in puberty (both in girls and boys), in menopause, during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Other causes of non-cyclical breast pain include alcoholism with liver damage (likely due to abnormal steroid metabolism), mastitis, shingles and some medications.
