Dear Ma'am,

Sorry to hear about your problem. It seems like your gynecologist put you on some hormonal pills, which have affected the menses and the breast size. You should consult the gynecologist again and consider stopping the medicine, if it is causing you trouble.
Also you should carry out a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Hoping for the best.

General & Family Physician Dr. Kidev Swamynathan's  Response
Hi, the most common medication given to breast tenderness is danazol, which is a modified progesterone (basically a hormone involved in your periods). And this particular drug could mimic progesterone which is the hormone which prepares you for pregnancy, logically in pregnancy your breast will enlarge. And your mensural irregularity could directly be due to the drug. But for safer side please do consult a gynecologist. Get your ovarian hormone profile done. i will also suggest you to get a ultrasound done.
wish you a good health.
