What should women do if they have breast pain during menstruation?

Women will experience some symptoms during their menstrual period, causing physical discomfort. For example, breast swelling, back pain, abdominal pain, etc., these are normal physiological phenomena. Mainly during menstruation, the secretion of estrogen in the body increases, which will lead to changes in women's endocrine system, thus causing these physical changes. So what should women do when they experience breast pain during menstruation?

1. Heat the breasts

Generally speaking, breast pain during menstruation is mostly severe in the few days before menstruation, and will gradually ease and disappear with the arrival and end of menstruation. Although it is normal for some women to experience breast pain during menstruation due to the influence of progesterone in the body, it is not entirely true. Therefore, female friends must not take it lightly and must pay enough attention to it!

It is recommended that female friends choose hot compress to relieve the pain of breast pain. You can prepare a clean hot towel and a basin of warm water, pour an appropriate amount of table salt into the water, then put the towel into the water, soak it for a while, take it out, apply it directly to the breast, and massage it, which can effectively relieve breast pain. The reason for adding table salt is that table salt has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. It can have a good anti-inflammatory effect for female friends with breast inflammation. If there is no inflammation in the breast, using a hot towel dipped in table salt for hot compress is also effective and harmless!

2. Eat less salt

Although applying a hot towel soaked in salt to the breasts can relieve pain, eating too much salt may not be good for breast health. High-salt foods can cause the breasts to swell. Therefore, excessive salt intake can also cause breast pain. Female friends are advised not to eat too much salt in the week before menstruation to avoid breast pain.

The article introduces some methods to relieve breast pain. In addition to dealing with breast pain during menstruation, normal breast pain can also be treated using this method.
