Is it normal to have breast tenderness before your period?

Mature women have menstruation every month, but before the menstruation comes, they begin to experience some uncomfortable symptoms, such as back pain, leg pain, lower abdominal pain, nausea, breast pain, etc. During this period, you should pay more attention to rest and maintain a happy mood. However, breast pain bothers many female friends. So, is breast pain before menstruation normal?

It is a normal physiological phenomenon that the breasts will feel sore 3-4 days before menstruation. The manifestations will vary according to the different physical conditions of each person. Some people may also experience swelling and rashes. These will gradually disappear after menstruation. However, if breast soreness occurs too early before menstruation, after menstruation or after ovulation, and when wearing underwear or touching, this phenomenon is pathological and can easily lead to gynecological diseases, such as infertility and breast tumors.

Premenstrual breast pain is an early and important signal of gynecological diseases. Strictly speaking, female breasts are part of the reproductive system and are greatly affected by estrogen and progesterone. If the body's endocrine system or ovarian function is disturbed at a certain stage, it will affect the menstrual cycle and breast tissue, resulting in a series of pathological changes. The most common and mildest symptom is premenstrual breast swelling. If necessary conditioning or treatment is not given, more discomfort will occur, such as: premenstrual headaches, irritability, insomnia, even premenstrual body pain, mild edema, etc. These symptoms gradually disappear after menstruation, occur once a month, and are medically called premenstrual tension syndrome. If this continues for a long time, breast disease will develop, the most common of which is breast hyperplasia. Menstruation may also be disturbed, resulting in menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, which will continue to cause infertility.

Therefore, you don’t need to worry too much about breast pain before your period. First, check the specific time period when you feel the pain. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital for examination, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. At the same time, you should maintain a comfortable mood during your period, maintain good personal hygiene, and prevent the occurrence of other diseases.
