Breast pain a few days before menstruation?

In daily life, many women usually have this phenomenon, that is, they will experience breast pain a few days before menstruation. In fact, this is a normal physiological phenomenon and you don’t have to worry too much. This situation is generally called premenstrual syndrome. If the breasts are swollen and painful before and during menstruation, and this symptom persists and cannot be relieved, it is best to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. It may be caused by breast disease.

How long before menstruation do breast pains occur

1. Pain duration

Generally speaking, before a woman is about to have her period, that is, after ovulation, if she is not pregnant. Most female friends will experience some swelling and pain in their breasts within ten days before their period. After menstruation comes, the swelling and pain in women's breasts will soon disappear.

2. Pelvic pain

Secondly, in the few days before menstruation, most women will also experience symptoms of lumbar pain and pelvic distension. However, female friends do not need to worry too much. Once the menstrual period is completely over, the pain in the female lumbar sacral area will disappear. The cause of this symptom has a lot to do with prostate factors.

3. Mood changes

In addition, when menstruation is about to come, women will experience significant changes in their emotions. They often show symptoms of anxiety, and their emotions will fluctuate with some external factors. Even some very small things can make women cry or quarrel.

What to do if you have premenstrual breast pain

1. Hot compress

Hot compress is a relatively traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. You can use some hot water bags or hot water bottles to relieve some breast pain. If you use cold therapy, you need to alternate between hot and cold to eliminate breast pain. The effect of doing so will be better. We need to remind everyone that hot compress can only temporarily relieve symptoms and has no therapeutic effect.

2. Bra

If you don't wear a bra, your breasts will sag, so you need to wear a bra when you go out during the day. Because bras can prevent sagging and prevent the compressed breast nerves from continuing to be compressed, which can also relieve some breast discomfort.

3. Keep massaging your breasts

Gently massaging the breasts can return excess body fluids to the lymphatic system and prevent the occurrence of breast diseases.

4. Diet

Stay away from coffee; although there is no conclusive evidence that caffeine causes or aggravates breast pain, clinical observations have shown that many women with breast tenderness or other related benign symptoms have significantly improved their symptoms after reducing their caffeine intake. This is not just about coffee. It's best not to drink any caffeinated soda, chocolate, ice cream, tea, or caffeinated painkillers.
