I’m in my mid-30s with a very regular cycle, but in the past year I’ve had a lot of breast pain (tenderness, etc. – like a pre-teen growing boobs kind of pain). It’s uncomfortable and particularly bothers me when I’m working out. There does not seem to be a pattern – it’s not at the same moment in my cycle every month, for example. I talked to my OBGYN who ruled out anything serious and said “it sounds hormone-related.” But my question: Why would this be happening? Why all of a sudden? How common is this? And is there anything I can do about it?
