What medication should be taken for breast tenderness before menstruation and melasma?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Early breast tenderness: Many women experience breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness during the onset of menstruation. In severe cases, even slight vibrations or collisions can cause discomfort, making existing granular or nodular sensations more pronounced. This is due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, leading to breast hyperplasia and edema in the interstitial tissues. These changes disappear after the menstrual period.
