What Are the Most Common Causes of Burning Breast Pain?

The sensation of the breast is dominated by the intercostal nerves and the 3 and 4 cervical nerves. Once these nerves are violated, it will cause pain, so breast pain is not a specific symptom of a disease. Early breast cancer is rarely painful unless it is locally advanced or inflammatory. Breast pain mostly comes from non-tumorous benign breast diseases. It can be said that breast pain is not directly proportional to the benign and malignant breast disease and the severity of the disease. What needs to be warned is: breast lumps without breast pain should be more vigilant.
