My breasts have been hurting badly recently. Previously, they would hurt a few days before each menstrual period.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, mild breast discomfort before menstruation is a normal phenomenon. Due to changes in hormone levels in the body, the lobules of the breast may proliferate, leading to discomfort. You can take traditional Chinese medicine, such as Xiaoyao Powder or Chaihu Shugan Powder. However, this kind of breast discomfort is usually within the range of tolerance. It is recommended to visit the breast department of a hospital for a check-up, including an ultrasound, to confirm the condition before treatment.
