What should I do about breast tenderness and hard lumps before menstruation?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I don't know what's going on recently, I have experienced breast tenderness and pain. What should I do about breast tenderness and hard lumps before my period?

Doctor's answer:

From the situation you described, it doesn't seem like breast cancer. It should be a normal premenstrual reaction. Moreover, your palpation method should be incorrect. Breast cancer generally occurs in women aged 40-49. If you're not sure, you can go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound. The main clinical manifestation of breast cancer is a painless lump. Gynecological conditions can be very serious, and it is recommended that patients seek immediate treatment, hoping that they can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above answer is hoped to help you, thank you.
