What are the reasons for breast tenderness after menstruation?

Patient's question:

I have some irregular menstruation, and my menstrual cycle isn't very accurate either. The amount of blood flow is also quite light. The doctor said I'm a bit anemic. Currently, I'm taking Ejiao (donkey-hide gelatin) and eating red dates and peanuts every day to replenish my qi. But why is it that every time my period ends, breast tenderness and pain reappear? What are the reasons for breast tenderness and pain after menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

The breast tenderness after menstruation is likely due to hormonal level interference in the body. It is important to maintain a positive mood, avoid stress and anxiety, pay attention to rest, and not overexert oneself. Additionally, consuming more fresh fruits and vegetables is recommended. It is necessary to visit the hospital for an MRI examination of the breasts and blood tests to check for anemia. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
