Is it normal to have breast tenderness and fullness before menstruation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Don't worry, this is premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Currently, there is no specific treatment for PMS. Mainly, you should strengthen physical exercise, maintain an optimistic mood, and control your irritability. You can also consider taking gamma-oryzanol or Chinese herbal medicine Xiao Yao Wan. For more severe symptoms, you can take Chinese herbal medicine to relieve liver qi stagnation and alleviate depression 3-5 days before your period.
