What are the reasons for unilateral breast pain?

Patient's question:

I have some soreness in one breast, but I'm not sure what's causing it. It started yesterday, and it's only been ten days since my period, so it can't be the kind of soreness that happens before a period. I checked, and there are no lumps, but it feels very similar to the soreness you get during a period. It's also strange because it's only on one side and not the other. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, breast pain can be strictly divided into two categories: one is the normal physiological pain before the menstrual period, which generally improves after the menstrual period and does not cause any lumps or other conditions. The other category is pathological pain, where the severity of pain varies depending on the different lesions. It is recommended to see a doctor if it is not physiological pain.
