What causes breast pain during menstruation?

Women's bodies are very fragile. Compared with men's bodies, women's bodies basically have no strength. Women are mainly the maintainers of the family, taking care of children and doing housework. Women's physiological phenomenon, menstruation, will torture women for about a week every month, which is very painful for women. Some women have breast pain during menstruation. This phenomenon is not uncommon. So, what is the cause of breast pain during menstruation?

According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, female breasts belong to the liver meridian of foot Jueyin, and are connected to the uterus through the Chong, Ren and Du meridians. Therefore, if there is a problem with the liver meridian, there will be a reaction in the above-mentioned parts.

The most common condition in women that is related to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian is liver depression and qi stagnation. The specific manifestations of liver depression and qi stagnation include irritability, depression, fullness in the flanks, etc. If the depression lasts for a long time and turns into heat, it will cause restlessness, anger, dry mouth, headache, etc. If the liver meridian's qi stagnation lasts too long, it can easily cause pathological changes in the areas where the foot jueyin liver meridian passes. As a result, breast hyperplasia and uterine fibroids will occur. In layman's terms, liver depression and qi stagnation can easily lead to diseases such as breast pain, uterine fibroids, and breast hyperplasia. Breast tenderness is often the first symptom that appears. If left untreated, serious gynecological diseases such as uterine fibroids, breast hyperplasia, and gynecological tumors are likely to occur in the future, and at that time, it will be more difficult to treat.

Breast pain during menstruation is a very common phenomenon and is very painful for women. Women during this period are prone to irritability, which has a great impact on women's emotional management. Therefore, when women experience breast pain during menstruation, they can go to the hospital for examination and seek help from a doctor.
