Why does breast tenderness occur

Patient's question:

I am 25 years old and female. Every 10 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. Why do my breasts hurt?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons that can cause breast pain. The pain may reappear before the menstrual period is about to arrive, or it may be due to the recurrence of breast hyperplasia. Hormonal imbalance can also lead to breast tenderness and pain. It is recommended to undergo a breast ultrasound examination and treat accordingly based on the results. Maintain a positive attitude and avoid consuming spicy and stimulating foods. Maintain a regular schedule, practice good warmth preservation, eat light and soft foods, ensure proper ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
