Patient's question:
Breast tenderness and fullness occur about a week before menstruation, and the discomfort disappears after menstruation.Doctor's answer:
Hello. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of the interstitial tissue in the breasts, many women experience breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness before menstruation. In severe cases, even slight vibrations or collisions can cause discomfort. After menstruation, the aforementioned changes can disappear. However, it cannot be ruled out that there may be breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia.
