Breast pain (mastalgia) and other breast changes are common from early development in girls, through menstruation and finally menopause and are mostly not a cause for concern. Breast changes are common for women throughout life. It is important to evaluate breast pain to determine whether the pain is due to normal physiological and hormone changes or due to a more serious condition, such as breast cancer.
