Is breast tenderness 10 days before menstruation normal?

Patient's question:

Xu just entered puberty and got her first period last year. In the past year, her menstrual cycle has been relatively regular, but in the past six months, she has experienced breast pain before her period again. Is it normal to have breast tenderness and fullness ten days before menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, around ten days before your period, if you experience breast tenderness again, it is considered normal. This is triggered by hormonal fluctuations in your body. If the tenderness gradually improves after your period and there are no lumps, it is normal. You should pay attention to rest and maintain a positive mood. Additionally, carefully observe if there are any lumps. If there are lumps, you need to follow up promptly.
