Patient's question:
Hello, why do breasts hurt and nipples throb a few days before menstruation? I'm 25 and unmarried, is this normal? I always thought that breast and nipple problems were something that would only happen after giving birth, but I'm married and experiencing it too?Doctor's answer:
Before menstruation, hormonal changes may cause breast tenderness, which is a normal physiological change and generally does not require special treatment. If breast tenderness persists after menstruation, it is likely due to conditions such as hyperplasia or fibroadenomas, and further examination with a breast ultrasound is necessary for a definitive diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, appropriate treatment should be administered. It is also important to pay attention to mood regulation in daily life to prevent the worsening of liver Qi stagnation.
