What type of breast pain is a sign that you might have breast cancer?

There is no specific type of breast pain that is a sign that a patient might have breast cancer. Breast cancer does not typically cause breast pain.
Virtually all the breast pains that women experience are caused by benign problems. Most of these are caused by fibrocystic breast and hormonal changes.
However, you have to be careful when you hear people say that if you have breast pain then, you do not have breast cancer. This is because breast pain and breast cancer can coexist in the same breast, but they are not usually related. In other words one did not cause the other.
So, the same woman with breast cancer can have breast pain, just like the same woman with breast cancer can have blue eyes or grey hairs.
So, a woman with breast pain is not protected from breast cancer and should still be screened for breast cancer like any other woman.

∙ 11y agoSome women with breast cancer have pain, but the vast majority do not.
Most of the times a cancerous breast lump is not painful. The exception is, inflammatory breast cancer which is painful and rather an aggressive type of breast cancer.
Women should talk with their doctor to determine their specific risk of breast cancer. All women should perform monthly breast self-examinations and report any changes to their doctor. Clinical breast examinations by a doctor should occur at least once every three years for women 20 to 39 years of age. Beginning at age 40, women should have yearly clinical breast exams by their doctor and yearly mammograms.
