You do need to see a doctor about some of the symptoms you describe, but the chances of breast cancer are very low.

Fewer than 0.1% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are under 30 and it’s almost unheard of in under 25s.

What you describe are not breast cancer symptoms. Pain is rarely a breast cancer symptom and most people diagnosed with breast cancer have felt no pain. It sounds as if the pain is in both breasts, which makes it even less likely that this is breast cancer.

Giving birth doesn’t increase the risk of breast cancer; in fact having children at a young age is regarded as some protection against it. Never having children or having them later in life is actually a recognised breast cancer risk factor.

You need to see a doctor about all the various symptoms that you have, but try not to worry about breast cancer – from the information you’ve given us, it is extremely unlikely.

Take care

It sounds to me like you may be pregnant again, actually. Because of the other symptoms, however, I’d go to your doctor ASAP to make sure it isn’t something different and more serious.

I don’t think that breast cancer commonly develops after a pregnancy; I’ve heard that the risk actually decreases if the mother breastfed. Check to make sure!

Good luck
