Patient's question:
I started my period 3 days ago. At first, I noticed that my breasts felt a bit larger. Later, on the third day, I began to feel intermittent breast tenderness and pain. Even touching them with my hands caused pain, which was very frustrating.Doctor's answer:
Hello, first of all, it can be confirmed that you are not pregnant, as pregnancy would prevent menstruation. What you mentioned as "mid-cycle" should actually refer to the time of menstruation, right? If you experience breast tenderness during menstruation, it is normal. Sometimes the pain can be so severe that you cannot even touch the area, but this is all normal and does not constitute a gynecological condition. During this time, you should drink more water daily, maintain adequate sleep, and keep a positive mood. The pain will gradually subside without realizing it.
