What to do when breast pain occurs during menstruation

Patient's question:

I always have breast pain a week before my period, and it gradually subsides after the 7th day. Is this a breast disease? If it is, what medicine should I take?

Doctor's answer:

Many women often experience breast tenderness and pain before their menstrual period. Patients who are more sensitive may ask whether treatment is needed. Generally, breast tenderness and pain three days before the period may indicate that menstruation is about to occur or the early stages of pregnancy, which is a normal phenomenon. However, some people may experience breast tenderness and pain too early, such as after the period has ended or after ovulation. The pain worsens when wearing a bra or touching the area, and this is a pathological condition that requires early treatment. Otherwise, it can easily lead to gynecological diseases, such as infertility and breast tumors.
