Breast pain, also called mastalgia, is caused by a wide variety of things. Most of the causes of breast pain are not serious health risks, so the pain is usually treated symptomatically. The pain usually takes the form of tenderness or soreness of the breast as opposed to a sharp, shooting pain. Causes of breast pain include hormones, breast cysts, certain medication side effects, large breast size and breast tumors, which may or may not be cancerous. Breast pain has been associated with hyperplasia of mammary glands.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, the root of all breast disease is stagnation. In its mildest form, this poor circulation is reflected as premenstrual breast distension or pain. At its most severe, it becomes the Stagnation of Blood & Qi with Toxic Heat of a malignant breast tumor. Benign breast lumps, cysts and / or pain lie somewhere on the continuum of stagnation, most likely involving the JueYin (Liver) and YangMing (Stomach) meridians.
