Asked by Female, 33 · 3 months ago
Breast pain and heaviness before your period are usually due to normal hormonal changes, not breast cancer. Back pain during your period is also typically related to menstrual cramps, not cancer. If the pain persists or you notice a lump, get it examined for reassurance.
