Patient's question:
My daughter has been experiencing increased appetite recently, along with the growth of pubic and underarm hair, and some breast tenderness.Medical tests and examination results: None
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None
What kind of help is desired: To know when her menstruation will start.
Doctor's answer:
Before menstruation, you may feel a slight soreness or tenderness in your breasts, and sometimes you may also experience lower back pain or abdominal discomfort. These are common symptoms that occur before your period. If you experience breast soreness or discomfort during your period or around the time of your period, no treatment is necessary. For patients with more pronounced symptoms and a wider range of inflammation, wearing a bra to support the breasts, taking oral traditional Chinese medicine such as Xiao Jin Dan or Xiao Yao San, or using 5% potassium iodide can help alleviate the symptoms.
