Patient's question:
I am 19 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. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for the breast pain?Doctor's answer:
Feeling breast tenderness and pain during menstruation is a normal phenomenon experienced by most women and there is no need to be overly anxious. In the early stages of menstruation, hormone levels tend to decline, so it is recommended to maintain a healthy and joyful mood. Before menstruation arrives, it is advisable to avoid spicy and greasy foods to prevent menstrual cramps. Wearing comfortable underwear is also important. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
