Patient's question:
Previously, when I had my period, I would feel mild breast tenderness. Since having my child, I've felt that my body isn't as good as it used to be, and during my period, my breasts become very tender. Hello, what is the reason for breast tenderness before menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Hello. During menstruation, women of reproductive age experience an imbalance in estrogen secretion, with relatively insufficient progesterone and relatively decreased estrogen, leading to water and sodium retention and adjustment imbalance, resulting in breast tenderness. This is not a physiological phenomenon. Maintain a cheerful mood, a low-salt, low-sugar, and low-fat diet. You can take vitamin B6 orally to alleviate symptoms. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition to reducing stress, patients should develop a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
