Is breast tenderness caused by fibrocystic changes?

Patient's question:

I am 28 years old, female. Recently, I have been feeling a constant pain in my breasts and they are also very swollen. I am a bit worried. Is breast tenderness and swelling due to hyperplasia of the lobules?

Doctor's answer:

Your symptoms don't need to worry. Due to hormonal changes during the premenstrual period or after menopause, breast tenderness and pain are normal. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutrient-rich foods. During treatment, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain regular sleep patterns, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
