2. If I have painful breasts am I drinking too much caffeine?
---Many studies say this is true, moderate and see how your symptoms are. Newer studies say low fat diets will help prevent breast pain.
3. Will breast pain be resolved by taking the birth control pill?

---The low levels of progesterone could cause symptoms, but not very likely.
5. What should I take for breast pain?
---It is important to talk to your gyno, but ibuprofen, tylenol and heat are what most women will try first.
