Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, female. Every 11 days before my period, my breasts start to feel slightly sore, and there are hard lumps when touched. After massaging them myself, it feels a bit better. The pain disappears after my period comes. How should women deal with breast tenderness before their period?Doctor's answer:
The breasts may experience again before menstruation, which is a normal physiological fibrosis of the breasts. It generally does not require treatment. When the endocrine levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body are imbalanced, meaning the excretion of endocrine hormones before and after menstruation is uneven, especially before menstruation when estrogen excretion exceeds demand, prolonged adverse stimulation of the breast glandular tissue leads to fibrosis and enlargement of the glandular cells, causing again. After menstruation, as estrogen levels gradually rise, the gradually decreases or disappears. This is a typical cyclical pain symptom of breast hyperplasia, which is a pathological fibrosis that requires timely treatment.
