Patient's question:
I haven't gotten my period this month, and it's been delayed by a few days. I've noticed breast tenderness. I'm married and also in the pre-pregnancy phase. Last month, we had intercourse without using a condom or any other form of contraception. So, could the breast tenderness before the period might be related to pregnancy as well?Doctor's answer:
Before the menstrual period, breast tenderness and pain have no absolute relationship with getting pregnant. Some people may experience breast tenderness in the early stages of pregnancy, while others may have breast tenderness before their period. These are all normal phenomena. Whether you get pregnant depends on the results of a thorough examination. If your period is delayed, it is recommended to take an early pregnancy test to see if both lines turn positive.
