Why do I have breast pain during my period?

Period is the menstrual period. Many women will experience some discomfort during the menstrual period. For example, some women will experience chest pain during the menstrual period. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. The most common one is improper eating habits. Secondly, health problems such as qi stagnation and lobular hyperplasia can also cause women to experience chest pain during their menstrual period!

1. Eating habits

With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's quality of life is becoming more and more abundant, their diet is also diversified, and many women have a more exciting and stimulating nightlife. Long-term nightlife will lead to eating midnight snacks, and coupled with a reversed day and night life every day, staying up late for a long time will lead to poor sleep quality and lack of sleep, which will cause women's breast pain or tingling. The habit of eating midnight snacks for a long time is not good and it will easily cause weight gain. Moreover, over time it will cause endocrine disorders, which is not good for your health.

2. Qi stagnation constitution

In fact, traditional Chinese medicine believes that if someone experiences breast pain before their period, it is mostly related to qi stagnation. If a woman is depressed all day long, without getting angry or sighing, then she has qi stagnation. Doing this frequently can easily damage the liver. As we all know, the liver is mainly responsible for the transportation and excretion functions in the body. When the liver function is damaged, these functions cannot operate normally, and the blood circulation will also be blocked, leading to various discomforts in the body. Therefore, women are prone to breast pain or abdominal pain before menstruation.

3. Lobular hyperplasia

If a woman starts to experience intermittent swelling or tingling in her chest one week before her period, it is likely due to lobular hyperplasia of the breast. Lobular hyperplasia is also a manifestation of breast malformation, which mainly causes breast pain, and the frequency of pain is not high. Therefore, if female friends often experience breast pain or tingling before menstruation, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to see what the cause is.
