I am 25 and have Type I diabetes since I was 6. No history of breast cancer in either sides of my family.
I recently (~one month ago) started to have a mild pain in my left breast, also "irradiating" towards the armpit and the back. I checked for lumps/ swells, but I find it really hard to tell if there are any, especially because I have small breasts, so it's difficult to say whether there is some extra tissue apart from the normal one. However, there does not seem to be a significant difference between the size or shape of the two breasts.
I am also on Yasmin BCP (since 2 years ago), but I still have an irregular menstrual cycle (probably due to diabetes and some ovary cysts). The pain does not seem related to the cycle.
I do not have a regular sexual life - I only see my guy once a few months. Actually, while I saw him the last time, the pain seemed to cease.
Frankly speaking, do you think my paranoia is at all justified? Do you have any suggestions for how I should deal with it?
