Why do breasts hurt before menstruation?

Patient's question:

I'm also not sure what's going on. Every time before my period, my breasts are very sore. Here, I'd like to consult with a few medical experts about why my breasts hurt before my period.

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation used to cause breast tenderness and pain due to the interference of estrogen and progesterone. This is a physiological condition, and in most cases, it does not require treatment. The majority of women experience relief after their period, but the symptoms reappear before the next menstrual cycle, repeating this cycle. If you find the symptoms particularly noticeable, you can take traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and reduces stagnation, which will bring you satisfying results. Pay attention to your dietary habits and consume more vegetables and easily digestible foods.
