Mastalgia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Mastalgia is pain or discomfort in one or both breasts, one of the most frequent reasons for consultation related to the breast. It can be occasional or present in a more sustained way.
Types and symptoms: sometimes the pain is related to the hormonal cycle and on other occasions it does not follow that pattern; it may feel like heaviness, tension, or tenderness to the touch.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable when the pain is persistent, is located at a fixed point, or is accompanied by other breast changes that draw attention.
Which specialist treats it? General surgery and, when other causes need to be ruled out, oncology can guide the study of the breast. When you have breast discomfort that concerns you, the most sensible thing is to discuss it with a professional who can examine it.
