Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Breast pain before menstruation, starting from the age of 15 until it doesn't hurt after menstruation. Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been sought. Desired help: What could be the reason for this, and what impact might it have in the future?Doctor'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 discomfort, making existing granular or nodular sensations 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. After menstruation, this condition usually disappears.It is recommended to first visit a hospital for relevant examinations to rule out organic lesions. If no significant organic lesions are found, you can take Xiaoyao Pills or Modified Xiaoyao Pills to alleviate the symptoms. This may also be an early sign of gynecological diseases, so it is advisable to consult a regular hospital or a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for regulation.
It is recommended to relax your mood, regulate your emotions, and take good care of your health during your menstrual period.
