Patient's question:
These past few days, I've had chest discomfort and bloating, and my period hasn't arrived either! Hello, what could be the cause of breast pain?Doctor's answer:
Physiological breast tenderness:1. Breast tenderness during puberty: Initially, the nipples become prominent with mild tenderness. After menstruation, as age increases and breast growth and development mature, the tenderness disappears on its own.
2. Breast tenderness before menstruation: More than half of women experience breast tenderness a few days before their period, with palpable granules and large lumps in the chest.
3. Breast tenderness during pregnancy: Mild cases may see the pain subside around 40 days, while severe cases may experience breast pain throughout the entire pregnancy.
