Patient's question:
I always experience chest pain again one week before my period. These days, I want to get a massage at a beauty salon. I want to ask the doctor if it's okay to get a massage when you have breast tenderness before your period.Doctor's answer:
It should be a neurological response triggered by the increased excretion of estrogen before menstruation. It's not a big problem, as this is a physiological phenomenon. Breast tenderness and pain before menstruation occur because of hormonal fluctuations in the body before menstruation. If the pain occurs, it is not pathological. If you want to perform breast massage, it is okay, but you need to pay attention. If the pain intensifies during the massage, you should stop. It may cause damage to the breasts. Daily hygiene should be noted. Wash and dry the breasts thoroughly. Avoid wearing overly thick bras or bras that are too tight or ill-fitting. Both tight and thick bras can exert pressure on the breasts.
