Patient's question:
I didn't have any feeling about this menstruation before, I'm not experiencing menstrual cramps, and I don't have any discomfort either. But recently, a week before my period, breast tenderness and pain have reappeared again. It's so painful that I can't even touch them. What should I do about breast tenderness and pain a week before my period?Doctor's answer:
Recurring breast tenderness and discomfort before or after menstruation are normal physiological phenomena. Therefore, preventing colds and similar issues is sufficient. If the symptoms do not subside after menstruation, it is abnormal, and it is necessary to visit a hospital for a breast ultrasound to carefully observe potential causes such as breast hyperplasia. It is recommended to eat light foods and avoid mental stress, as liver qi stagnation can easily worsen the condition. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
