Patient's question:
I am currently in my first year of high school. Since I study in the city, my roommates come from different places, so we also talk about other topics. Among them, we discussed the symptoms before menstruation. They all have similar symptoms, but I am the only one who experiences breast pain. Hello, is it normal to have breast tenderness a few days before menstruation?Doctor's answer:
The breast tenderness and pain in the days before menstruation are related to the fluctuation of hormone levels in the body. The breast glandular tissue can undergo cyclical changes along with the menstrual cycle. Before menstruation, the levels of estrogen and progesterone are relatively high, which can stimulate the breast tissue to again develop fibrocystic enlargement. At this time, you may feel significant tenderness and pain. This is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment. Generally, after menstruation, the tenderness and pain will significantly decrease or disappear.
