Korina, In somebody your age, pain in the breast is most often associated with fibrocyctic change, which is a common benign finding, but can cause discomfort. If you do indeed have a lesion, it is still best to have it examined, even at your age. When you have your exam, if things seem like fibrocyctic breast issues, ask the physician to counsel you in regard to things you can do to lessen the symptoms... Lynn
