Why do I feel breast swelling before my period?

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that occurs every month in women, but it often brings discomfort. Many women will have some signs before their period, such as uncomfortable swelling in the breasts. At this time, it is best to master effective treatment methods, which can also avoid the occurrence of breast diseases. So what should you do to take good care of your breasts during your menstrual period?

Many women experience breast fullness, hardness and tenderness before menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts will become swollen and painful even with the slightest vibration or collision. This is because the estrogen level in the body increases before menstruation, causing breast hyperplasia and tissue edema. At the same time, during menstruation, people often feel irritable, angry or depressed due to certain physical discomforts, and mood swings in turn affect menstruation. Therefore, you should keep a good mood and regulate your emotions to reduce the discomfort during menstruation.

Generally speaking, if the breast swelling before menstruation is mild, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. If it is more serious, you have to consider diseases such as mastitis and breast hyperplasia. Eliminate the tension and fear about menstruation, relieve mental worries, and be in a good mood. You can participate in labor and exercise appropriately, but pay attention to rest. You should strengthen physical exercise in your daily life, especially those with weak constitution. Attention should also be paid to improving nutritional status and actively treating chronic diseases. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, and eat less raw, cold, spicy and other irritating foods before and during menstruation. When symptoms of chest distension occur, you can relieve them by gentle massage. If the symptoms are severe, you can take atropine tablets or diazepam tablets to relieve the pain. If the symptoms cannot be relieved for a long time, appropriate Chinese medicine treatment can be given.

These relief methods and precautions are relatively easy to do, and you can get results by paying a little attention to them in your daily life. However, the editor still wants to remind all women that when they feel the symptoms are serious, they should not face it with an attitude of tolerance or indifference. They must check their breasts and uterus so that the lesions can be discovered early.
