What is the reason for breast tenderness and fullness?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: 24
Feeling breast fullness, a bit uncomfortable, bra seems to be tight as if it has become smaller, sometimes itchy as well

Doctor's answer:

Breast tenderness can be physiological or pathological. The tenderness and soreness during the premenstrual period (due to hormonal changes after ovulation) in women are normal. However, if the symptoms are severe, irregular, or accompanied by localized breast lumps, it falls under the pathological category and requires medical attention. You should visit the surgical department or a breast specialist for ultrasound and mammography examinations to diagnose and treat the condition.
