How to treat menstrual chest pain?

Menstruation is something every woman experiences every month, which is commonly known as period. Some women experience dysmenorrhea and bleeding during their periods, while some feel chest swelling and breast pain. These are all normal phenomena. What we can do is not to stop this phenomenon, but to slightly relieve chest pain during menstruation. So what should we do specifically? I will tell you how to relieve chest pain during menstruation.

Breast pain during menstruation is very common and there are many reasons for it, such as breast hyperplasia or women’s emotional loss, depression, tension, and irritability, all of which are related to breast pain during menstruation. So, how can women relieve breast pain during menstruation? This is also a problem that most female friends are very concerned about. In order to help female friends get rid of such a big problem, this article introduces it in detail. I hope that female friends who have breast pain during menstruation can use it as a reference for conditioning. Female friends who do not have breast pain during menstruation can also take it as a warning and take care of their bodies!

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.

3. Keep a happy mood

The quality of your mood is closely related to the health of your breasts. If female friends are under long-term tension, repression, depression, etc., long-term negative emotions will cause your breasts to face serious health problems. Don’t think that just because you feel your mood fluctuates frequently, it’s nothing. In fact, it’s not. Breast problems must be accumulated over time. Therefore, even if female friends do not have breast pain or other breast problems, they should take precautions, maintain a cheerful mood, and have a positive and optimistic mood, which is critical to breast protection.

4. Avoid food or products containing hormones

Girls must pay attention to their psychological and physiological conditions during menstruation, maintain a good mood, and a clean and tidy living environment. Try to eat less salty food and avoid contact with irritating objects or products. If you feel breast pain, apply hot water.
