Breast tenderness and pain before menstruation, what are the reasons?

Patient's question:

Hello, my menstrual cycle is very irregular. Before my period, I often experience breast tenderness and irregular bumps under my armpits. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

There is breast tenderness before menstruation, and there are lumps under the armpits. It is likely that you have hyperplasia of the breast, because the main symptoms of hyperplasia of the breast are breast tenderness again before menstruation, and the symptoms fluctuate with the menstrual cycle. The incidence of breast disease is relatively high. In addition to hyperplasia of the breast, it may be breast fibroma or even breast cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital in time for breast ultrasound and other detailed examinations, and take some medicine for conditioning if necessary. There are irregular lumps under the armpits. It is recommended to do an ultrasound to see if it is accessory breast or swollen lymph nodes.
