Today, I will introduce to you what to do if your breasts are swollen when your period is coming?

Pregnancy and early menstruation can cause breast pain!

because:

1. Strong menstruation with breast fullness, hardness and tenderness. This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of the breast interstitial tissue. After the menstrual period, the above changes disappear.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of female menstruation is closely related to the liver, and the breasts are located where the liver meridian runs. Therefore, your condition is mostly related to liver qi stagnation and emotional discomfort. You can take some Chinese patent medicines such as Xiaoyao Pills, Shugan Liqi Pills, Chaihu Shugan Powder, etc. which can soothe the liver and relieve depression, regulate qi and regulate menstruation. If the liver qi is smooth and the qi and blood flow smoothly, the symptoms of breast pain will be relieved. In normal times, avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and greasy foods, avoid excessive fatigue, get angry less, and keep a good mood.

Breast hyperplasia is mainly manifested by breast pain before menstruation or obvious pain when in a bad mood. It is closely related to endocrine disorders and needs to be checked and clarified. It is recommended that you do a breast ultrasound and mammography to check and clarify. If the pain is obvious, you can take Xiaoyao Pills or Rupixiao and other drugs to relieve the symptoms. Don't stay up late or overwork.

However, if there are nodules or asymmetry on both sides, or there are obvious changes compared to before, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.
