Pain in right breast
Hi doctor, i have been feeling pain somewhere around my right breast below my arm where arm and breast touches each other.
Its been there for a long time i think a month. I am 26 years old. Mother was 45 when she had breast cancer now she is no more because her cancer detected on the last stage so could not do much for her to save her. And i am the first child and always scared to be on the high risk.
Now i dont know if it is acidic pain because i have acidity problem also. I passes stool on alternate days.
Or it is something else because it hurts like a needle pains alot for 2 seconds , occurs any time . Cant tell family as they ll get worried .kindly suggest something
Please i just hope i am fine.

Hi. Pain in armpit need not be cancer symptoms. If your mother had breast cancer you are at risk of having cancer but it contributes to only 5-10% chances. You need to get evaluated with USG of breast and axilla to rule out the cause if your pain.
Next Steps
Usg of breast and axilla

Usually cancer doesnt present with pain.
Considering your age and symptoms it might be non cancerous.
Please do ultrasonography of both breast and share the report.
Next Steps
Ultrasound bilateral breast (sonomammography)
Health Tips
As you have family history of breast cancer you have to start surveillance early. Your mother developed breast cancer at 45yrs start checkup at 35yrs with sonomammography and annual doctor checkup..

No need to worry about breast cancer. If your mother had breast cancer means, nothing like that you will also develop. Be relax. You can do one ultrasonagram of bilateral breasts to get relief
