Breast Pain

Breast pain, or mastalgia, refers to discomfort, tenderness, or sharp stabbing sensations in breast tissue and can occur in both men and women, often due to causes like gynecomastia in men or menstrual cycles in women. While generally not serious, especially when associated with menstrual periods, pain localized to one part of a breast, particularly with a hard mass or nipple discharge, warrants further medical evaluation.
