my girlfriends breasts are very sore and swollen. wtf?
 

her breasts are swollen to the point that they are noticably much bigger. they are also very sore, to the point where she has just been hanging around the house with no bra on because wearing a bra is extremely painful right now.

her period is not due til the 15th. i bought a pregnancy test and it says she isn't pregnant. the odds of her being pregnant are really small anyway since we hadn't had sex for around a month and a half until 7 days ago, and we've worn a condom the few times we've done it since then.

are there any reasons her breasts might be swollen up? am i correct that a pregnancy sign like swollen breasts wouldn't show up this early if she was pregnant somehow? and if they did show up early they would not happen at least until after the first time she missed her period?

cue 100 "she's banging other dudes" responses.

1. Go to a doctor.

2. This is most likely hormonally related. Breast tenderness can occur as part of the hormonal changes involved in the cycle. It can also occur if she's started taking a new birth control pill, is pregnant or had an abortion recently. Has she had problems like this ever before? Has she started any new medications recently?

3. If there is increased redness or your girl has a fever, infection (mastitis) is possible.

4. Very small chance this could be due to her body producing excess hormone for some pathologic reason or another (yes, including cancer). Sudden lactation would make me suspicious here.

Cliff notes: Most likely hormone related and will likely get better in the next week and a half. Go see a doc if it gets worse or persists longer than 2 weeks.

what exactly does hormonally related mean? just a random hormonal change? i'm kind of confused about what would cause that or what it is. no birth control, abortions etc, but she did just stop smoking for the first time in about 2 years ( she's only been cigarette free for a couple days ).

Re: my girlfriends breasts are very sore and swollen. wtf?
 

During a woman's cycle different hormones increase and decrease depending on where she's at in her cycle, cool? The hormones help control changes in the uterus and ovaries primarily, but also affect tons of other things, the breasts included. (BTW, some of these same hormones increase dramatically at the beginning of a pregnancy) That's why some women experience tender or enlarged breasts during specific parts of their menstrual cycle. For some women, this is very normal (albeit unpleasant) and very consistent month to month. For others it may be much more sporadic.

The fact that both her breasts are affected is really good news. The main thing you worry about when you think of changes in breasts is cancer. Since cancer occurs because of a number of "bad" changes in the actual cells of the breast, it almost always shows up as a specific lump or discharge in ONE breast (since it would be so unlikely that both sides could complete the necessary changes at exactly the same time). So, you would think of something outside the breast controlling the changes that you're seeing in the breasts (as that's really the only way you're gonna see identical weird changes at the same time). Hormones are the most likely culprit and since your girl is about 1 week pre-menstruation, it's even more likely as some of the hormones peak around now.

you certainly get brownie points for shelling out the 12.95, but why are you posting without details/TR of buying a pregnancy test as a man.

also, did she use it correctly? it probably won't show up in the first week.

Seriously or are you leveling?

Soreness won't come across in a picture and swollen is just another word for bigger than normal. I like looking at boobies but especially bigger than normal boobies.
