What is the reason for breast tenderness and pain half a month before menstruation?

Patient's question:

I always have breast tenderness for half a month before my period. Sometimes, even wearing a bra can be very painful, and when I massage them with my hands, it's always very painful. Sometimes I don't even dare to touch them with my hands. What is the reason for the breast tenderness for half a month before my period?

Doctor's answer:

When you encounter this situation, you will likely feel very frustrated. Many women experience breast tenderness and hardness before menstruation, with severe cases where even slight vibrations or touches can cause pain. This is due to the decline in estrogen levels in the body beforehand and the resulting hyperplasia of breast tissue and edema. Therefore, you don't need to worry too much, as the breasts will return to normal after menstruation.
Additionally, for gynecological patients during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answers can help you. Thank you.
