Dear Priyanka,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Based on your concerns, it seems like you're experiencing cyclical breast pain (mastalgia), which is often related to hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle. However, since the pain has now been consistent and is in the left breast, it's important to rule out any underlying issues.

Here are a few steps we recommend:

1. Breast Self-Examination: You can perform a self-exam to check for any unusual lumps or changes in the breast tissue. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, such as swelling, lumps, or changes in the skin, you should consult a doctor.

2. Consultation with a Doctor: We recommend visiting a gynaecologist or breast specialist for a thorough evaluation. They may suggest a breast ultrasound or mammogram to get a clearer picture of what's causing the pain.

3. Lifestyle Changes: Sometimes breast pain can be alleviated by wearing a supportive bra, reducing caffeine intake, and managing stress. These might help reduce discomfort around your menstrual cycle.

4. Compression: Gentle massage and warm compression.

5. Pain Management: If the pain is severe, your doctor may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers, birth control pills, or other treatments, depending on the cause.

While the pain may be due to hormonal fluctuations, it's always better to get it evaluated, especially since it's persistent. Early detection is key to addressing any potential concerns.
