There's all kinds of symptoms that appear with a period - stomach cramps, irritability, cravings for sweets or cake, tender breasts. This is normal. Periods are also erratic and few lucky women have the same kind of period and symptoms every single time e.g. sometimes I get awful cramps, and sometimes I just don't.

Cancer is unlikely; breast cancer doesn't usually affect women as young as you. If you feel any lumps in your breasts, this may be a cause for concern, though they could just be benign cysts which are annoying but common enough. The other aunts are right; pop by your doctor and ask for a check-up. You'll soon have your mind at rest.

Stayc63088 agony auntBreasts get sore around your period, it is very normal. I wouldn't worry about having breast cancer unless you feel a lump, and if you do get it checked out immediately. Otherwise you are completely normal as I also have painful/sore breasts around my menstrual period. Good luck.

just-ask-xx agony auntNothing is wrong at all, your breasts get very tender and sometimes painful during periods, it's absolutely nothing to worry about, it's perfectly normal!

A lot of girl's boobs get tender around that time. I don't think you should be too stressed, but if you are really worried then you should go to a doctor just to make sure. There would be no harm in going and at least it would give you peace of mind.
