Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and female. Every 11 days before my period, my breasts start to feel slightly sore, and there are hard lumps when touched. They feel a bit better after I massage them myself. The pain disappears after my period comes. I am wondering what to do if my period is delayed by 4 days and my breasts are still sore.Doctor's answer:
Generally, menstruation may be advanced or delayed due to hormonal changes in a woman's body. However, as long as it does not exceed one week, it is considered a normal range phenomenon. If there has been no sexual intercourse, the possibility of pregnancy can be ruled out. It is recommended to relax, drink some brown sugar water, apply cold compresses to the abdomen, avoid strenuous exercise, and wait patiently.During the treatment period, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health. It is important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
