What causes breast tenderness at 18?

Patient's question:

Breasts are painful to the touch, both are quite hard, and it has been over ten days. My period is expected to come next week, and I'm a bit scared. Seeking expert advice.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your situation is that during puberty, you have pain and hardness in both breasts, and your menstrual period is expected to arrive in about a week. If this occurs every time before your period, you can regulate it with traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi. Generally, Xiaoyao Pill is used, and it can significantly relieve the symptoms within about three days. The pain may disappear after the menstrual period, but you still need to take it in the next cycle. If it does not improve or the pain is unbearable, it is recommended that you seek medical attention from the gynecology department of a hospital in a timely manner.
