Causes of breast tenderness near menstruation

Menstruation is often accompanied by breast pain, back pain, leg pain, lower abdominal pain, itchy nipples, etc., and breast pain begins to occur when menstruation is approaching. Due to lack of understanding of this phenomenon, many female friends mistakenly believe that it is a symptom of cancer. In fact, this is not the case. When this phenomenon occurs, don’t look at it with fear. You can go to the hospital to consult a doctor, or you can check relevant books and search for relevant information on the Internet. So, what is the reason for breast pain when menstruation is approaching?

Most breast pain is not a sign of cancer. Generally speaking, this condition is related to menstruation, with periodic swelling or tingling occurring as the menstrual cycle approaches, and then relieved or disappearing after menstruation comes. It is mostly caused by hormonal changes in the body. In fact, breast pain in most women is not serious, but some women will have pain in the armpit, shoulder or back on the same side, or even "pain at the touch". These women should go to the hospital for a breast examination as soon as possible to consider the possibility of proliferative lesions. If necessary, danazol, tamoxifen or some blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing drugs can be used to relieve pain. It is normal to experience breast tenderness 3 days before your period and it will disappear after your period. If you experience breast pain and swelling 5 days before your period and the pain worsens during your period, you should be alert to breast hyperplasia. When there is no breast disease, there are no symptoms before and after menstruation. The typical symptom of breast hyperplasia is breast tenderness before menstruation, which is relieved or disappears after menstruation. Many women have this misunderstanding, thinking that "every woman has breast pain before menstruation". Doctors remind female friends: when there is no breast disease, there are no symptoms before menstruation.

According to the above introduction, first of all, you should calm yourself down and not look at this problem with fear. Secondly, look at the time of pain. If the pain is not in the correct time period, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. In addition, breast pain is not a phenomenon that everyone experiences during menstruation, so you should clarify the cause of your illness, carry out relevant prevention and treatment, and get out of the suffering as soon as possible.
