Is heaviness and pain in the breast before periods normal?

Q: I am 27 years old. From the past 3 years, just before my periods I have a small lump in my right breast and also there is heaviness and pain in my breast. I was diagnosed as having fibrocyst of the breast. I was given vitamin E tablets. The problem still persists. I want to know if it will effect breast feeding in future? I have white discharge every month for some days. There is itching initially but later it subsides. How do I get rid of it? Will I have any problem in conceiving due to this?

A:Pain and heaviness of the breasts before periods are natural, just that some women have more than others. Fibrocystic condition of the breast is not a disease, it only means that your breasts are generally a little lumpy. This is natural for many women. It will not effect breast feeding.A little white discharge from the nipple is also not unnatural and it will not interfere with your pregnancy. But if the discharge is blood stained, then you should see a doctor.
