So, is breast pain a normal phenomenon a few days before menstruation?

Some women experience breast pain before their period, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, the possibility of breast hyperplasia cannot be ruled out. Generally, breast hyperplasia will also cause breast swelling and pain before menstruation. It is recommended to go to the hospital's breast department 3-7 days after the menstruation is over and do a breast ultrasound to see if there is any hyperplasia. Before menstruation, the breasts may become swollen, hard, and tender. In severe cases, the breasts may become swollen and painful with a slight vibration or collision. This is due to increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of interbreast tissue. After menstruation, the above changes may disappear. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and you don't need to worry too much. Premenstrual breast pain mostly occurs 3 to 5 days before menstruation. Other systemic symptoms include mild edema, headache and insomnia, irritability, emotional instability, back pain, lower abdominal pain, and difficulty in defecation. In daily life, you should avoid unnecessary mental stimulation, eat less salt, lead a regular life, and participate in more cultural and sports activities. For those with more severe symptoms, you can take sedatives such as phenobarbital or progesterone, androgen, etc. for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
