What is the reason for breast tenderness 10 days before menstruation?

Patient's question:

This month, 10 days before my period, my breasts started to feel sore and, with white discharge. I thought it was because my underwear was too tight and didn't pay much attention. But the pain has lasted this long, and I'm worried I might have some kind of illness. I hope to get help from an expert.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, it is considered to be premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Symptoms such as headaches, breast tenderness, fatigue, tension, general weakness, depression or irritability, restlessness, insomnia, pelvic heaviness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dull lower back pain, nasal congestion, and edema are all normal. After menstruation, the symptoms will naturally disappear. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, no special treatment is needed. During the menstrual period, it is important to rest and avoid eating cold or irritating foods.
