What should I do about breast tenderness and pain before menstruation, and what are the reasons?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be due to liver qi stagnation. Liver qi stagnation refers to a pattern characterized by abnormal liver function in regulating the body's qi, where the liver's dispersing function is insufficient, leading to qi stagnation. It is also known as liver qi depression syndrome, or simply liver depression syndrome. Consider using Chai Hu Shu Gan San (Chai Hu Decoction for Liver Qi Stagnation) with modifications for treatment.
