Patient's question:
This month, my period is delayed by 3 days, and my breasts are more swollen than before. What's the reason for the delayed period and breast tenderness for 3 days?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of breast tenderness and pain due to a 3-day delay in menstruation may be a sign of menstruation or the possibility of pregnancy. It is necessary to wait a few more days and conduct a thorough check to confirm. If menstruation is delayed by about a week, a pregnancy test can be used to confirm if pregnancy has occurred. If pregnancy is not confirmed, the menstrual cycle can be regulated by taking some traditional Chinese medicine for menstrual regulation, maintaining good lifestyle habits, which helps in regularizing the menstrual cycle.
