Is it normal to experience breast tenderness and increased leukorrhea during menstruation?

Patient's question:

In recent months, I have been experiencing breast tenderness and an increase in leukorrhea about a week before my menstrual period. Is this phenomenon a problem? I used to rarely have this, so is it true that women start experiencing this as they reach a certain age?

Doctor's answer:

Problem Analysis: Hello, leukorrhea may vary in amount due to changes in the endocrine system, sometimes being more abundant and sometimes less, with wetting the underwear occasionally also being a normal phenomenon. As long as it is not accompanied by symptoms such as external genital itching, redness, swelling, and pain, or frequent urination and dysuria, it is not a disease and there is no need to worry too much.
Suggestions: It is recommended to undergo a gynecological examination, including abdominal ultrasound, and to test leukorrhea regularly. After a clear diagnosis is made, symptomatic treatment is preferable. Avoid using medication blindly.
