I have a pain in my left breast, but I have not had a period for 6 years. Can you help me?

Breast pain can happen after the menopause and may be helped by supplements such as kelp.

But it is important to get any breast changes checked by your doctor first before self-medicating.

Also, make sure that you get yourself measured properly.  A lot of the big stores offer a free service - after the menopause breast shape, size and density can change and an ill-fitting bra can cause pain as well!
