Patient's question:
Hello, may I ask, my menstrual cycle has been about five to six days early for the past two months. About five days before my period, I experience breast and nipple tenderness. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Due to the sudden decrease of sex hormones in the body before menstruation, it can affect the whole system and cause certain reactions. These reactions generally appear 7-14 days before menstruation, intensify 2-3 days before the onset, and gradually subside and disappear after the period. These changes are relatively noticeable and are referred to as premenstrual tension syndrome. It is also possible that you may currently have some breast-related conditions. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for examination in a timely manner to achieve early detection and early treatment.
