What should I do if my breasts hurt a few days before my period?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What should I do if my breasts hurt a few days before my period?

Doctor's answer:

A few days before menstruation, there may be mild breast tenderness, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Usually, the tenderness will disappear after the period. If the pain is severe, it might indicate some inflammation or hyperplasia in the breast. During the tenderness, you can apply a warm towel to relieve the discomfort and avoid squeezing. It's best to have a breast ultrasound examination at the hospital. If there is hyperplasia, you can take medication like Rubixiao or Xiaoyao pills for treatment.
