Answers:
All mammals have breasts and humans are no exception!. Breasts, which are milk-producing glands, begin to enlarge in females around the onset of puberty!. Breasts are made of fat and other tissue that surround and protect nerves, blood vessels, and milk ducts (small tube-like paths)!.

The timing of breast development varies from girl to girl!. Most girls begin getting breasts around 10 or 11, but it's normal for breast development to start anytime between the ages of 8 and 13!. In general, it takes 4 to 5 years for a girl's breasts to reach their adult size!.

One of the most common times that breasts might feel sore is when they are beginning to develop!. First you might notice a small button-like lump beneath the nipple area!. The medical name for this is the breast bud,!. The breast bud may be a little tender and may cause you to worry but it's a normal part of puberty!.

It is also common to have sore breasts around the beginning of a girl's period, or menstruation!. Before her period starts, a girl's body produces lots of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone!.

Changes in these hormones can cause feelings that together are called premenstrual syndrome, or PMS!. Some girls have painful cramps in their stomachs, headaches, mood swings, or cravings for certain foods right before their periods begin!. During this time the body may retain water, which can make a girl feel puffy and bloated!. Rings and shoes may feel tight at this time!.

Most PMS symptoms, including breast soreness, should disappear as your period begins!. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, might be helpful!. Wearing a supportive bra might also help!.

Healthy eating, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep are really your best bets for lessening the ache!. You might try cutting down on salty foods and foods that contain caffeine, like coffee, tea, and even chocolate!. Try caffeine-free soda or herbal tea instead!. Some girls find that eating a diet rich in calcium helps with PMS symptoms!.

If you're tired, take a rest! Snuggle on the couch with your pillow and watch a good movie!. Sometimes getting your mind off your aches is the best thing you can do!.Breast swelling and tenderness can also be one of the earliest signs of pregnancy!. Be sure to talk to a parent or doctor right away if you might be pregnant!.

If you ever notice discharge from one or both breasts, call your doctor right away!.
