Sharp Pain In Left Breast
During teenage years, breasts and nipples are still growing and changing. These areas may be influenced by:
- Your menstrual cycle (May cause breast tenderness, swelling, aches and/or tingling)
- Heat and/or cold
- Stimulation and/or pressure
Since this is causing you recurring pain, TeenHealthFX suggests scheduling an appointment with your adolescent medicine specialist. To best prepare for your visit, you should gather the following:
- Family medical history
- Pain chart/calendar to describe when your pain(s) generally occur
If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
