What, besides cancer could cause rapid growth, aching pain, and warmth in a brea!


Question: There are lots of different things that can cause problems with your breasts. You could have an infection. I've had an infected milk duct before. Also women can have deposits settle in there, trauma could happen causing injury, a cyst...There are tons and tons of things that could be wrong. To me it sounds like you have an infection, mainly because of the warmth and pain. Either way you should go to the doctor. Any rapid growth should be looked at. At least pay attention for a few weeks and see if it goes away. I've had pain, warmth, and lump in my breast. It went away on its own in a couple weeks. I never did know what it was, but nervously searched through web sights for an answer and found that breast problems are quite common.

Puberty? Pregnancy?

pregnancy. that's all i can think of. but, if you've ruled out cancer (which i don't believe causes RAPID growth) then you've probably ruled that out as well

cysts, infections in the milk ducts, hormonal changes in your body (like going on the pill or that time of the month). If in doubt, go see the gyno and get an exam.

rapid growth? usually tumors don't grow that rapidly ...symptoms seem more inflammatory likely a cyst or an infection within the ducts...see you doctor

to much estrogen, or more estrogen then your body is used to. When i was on birth control pills the cup size doubled in about a month ...... they hurt and felt warm to.

Pregnancy could do it; likewise, infected milk ducts could be a problem. There are also a number of non-malignant tumors that might cause this sort of problem. I would definitely say it's time to check with your doctor.
