Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, female. Every 10 days before my period, my breasts start to feel slightly sore, and there are hard lumps when touched. It gets a bit better after I massage them myself. The pain disappears after my period comes. How can I deal with breast tenderness?Doctor's answer:
Breast tenderness, first of all, you need to check if your menstrual cycle is regular. If it's not regular, it's generally recommended to first regulate your menstrual cycle. If your menstrual cycle is very regular, and you experience breast tenderness again, and it's clearly pain during the premenstrual period, then you need to see how well the patient can tolerate the pain. Mild pain is caused by physiological fibrosis and is usually not a cause for concern. If the pain is severe and interferes with daily life, such as walking, cycling, or running, and the pain reappears in these activities, it is generally recommended to use many Chinese herbal medicines that regulate the liver and improve Qi to adjust it.Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase regular exercise to improve their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
