What is the reason for breast tenderness and pain when menstruation is delayed by 8 days?

Patient's question:

I've been 8 days late with my period this month, and I also have breast pain. What could be the reason for a 8-day delayed period and breast tenderness?

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation is delayed by eight days, and breast tenderness and pain reappear. First, you need to rule out pregnancy. It is recommended to use a pregnancy test kit first. If pregnancy is ruled out, it is suggested to wait a bit longer. If the symptoms reappear, it may be possible that menstruation is approaching. If it still hasn't arrived after more than ten days, go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium, and then receive treatment.
