Patient's question:
My problem is that around 12 days before my period, my breasts become swollen and painful until the period ends! It's been happening in cycles for about 7-8 months now. I would like to ask, can this issue be resolved? What can I do to make it stop hurting?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, the phenomenon of breast tenderness and pain during menstruation is mainly related to emotional factors and liver qi stagnation. Treatment should focus on soothing the liver, regulating qi, and resolving stagnation, which can be achieved through Chinese medicine.Before menstruation, some girls may experience a series of symptoms, such as fatigue, irritability, depression, sleepiness, or even crying or anger for no reason. In severe cases, they may refuse to interact with parents or friends, become isolated, and even stay in bed. These symptoms are often accompanied by breast tenderness, a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen, and constipation, though usually only one or two of these occur in an individual.
It is recommended to relax, eat more fruits and vegetables, engage in appropriate exercise, maintain regular bowel movements, and take good care of yourself during the premenstrual period. I hope my answer is helpful to you! Wishing you good health!
