10 Causes of Breast Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #2: Cysts
Women undergo a process known as involution as they get older. During this process, the tissue in the breast becomes fat; one of the results of these changes are the increased risk of developing cysts. This happens because women develop more fibrous tissue in their breasts and this is more likely to create or contribute to cysts.
These cysts are not always painful, but they certainly can be. Fortunately, cysts caused by this type of change are not generally dangerous and don’t require medical attention.
