Prevalence and impact of cyclic mastalgia in a United States clinic-based sample

Article Abstract:

It appears many women experience premenstrual breast pain, often painful enough to seek medical attention.

Overall, 69% of these women had experienced monthly premenstrual breast pain. Mammograms had been performed 4.7 times more frequently in young women with regular monthly breast pain compared to young women with no breast pain. Many women reported that their monthly breast pain significantly limited their everyday activities.
