Patient's question:
Approximately ten daysDoctor's answer:
Hello, more than half of women experience breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness before menstruation; in severe cases, even slight vibrations or collisions can cause painful tenderness, making the existing granular or nodular sensation more pronounced. This is due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, leading to breast hyperplasia and edema in the interstitial tissue. These changes usually disappear after menstruation. Heat therapy is a traditional Chinese medical treatment method that can help alleviate breast fullness and tenderness by using hot water bags or hot water bottles, among other methods.
