Breast pain can be uncomfortable, worrying, and disruptive, even when it is not linked to a serious underlying condition. For some people, pain is persistent and difficult to manage.
If symptoms continue despite reassurance and standard treatment, a regulated medical cannabis assessment may be considered.
Check Eligibility
Breast pain, also known as mastalgia, may be cyclical or non-cyclical and can affect one or both breasts. It may be associated with hormonal changes, musculoskeletal factors, or breast tissue sensitivity.
Treatment often includes reassurance, pain relief, hormonal management, or lifestyle adjustments. While many cases improve, some people experience ongoing discomfort.
Persistent pain can affect sleep, exercise, and emotional wellbeing.
Medical cannabis may be considered where breast pain remains persistent and significantly impacts quality of life despite conventional management.
Some patients report improvements in pain perception or sleep. Suitability must be assessed carefully by a specialist clinician.
