Major changes in breasts during menstruation

I have been menstruating for 2 years, but there is no regularity. At first, I didn't notice any characteristics and didn't know when my period would come back. My classmates said that there are some changes in the human body during menstruation, such as breast or increased vaginal discharge. I would like to know if there are any changes in breasts during menstruation?

The mammary glands change in response to changes in hormones during the menstrual cycle. During the first half of the menstrual cycle, estrogen levels gradually increase and the breasts undergo proliferative changes. After ovulation, the level of progesterone increases, and prolactin also increases until 3-4 days before menstruation. The ductal epithelial cells in the lobules hypertrophy, and the secretions in the interlobular and terminal ducts also increase. Therefore, before menstruation, you can feel breast swelling, breast enlargement, tension and firmness, and even varying degrees of pain and tenderness, and there are lumps to touch. After menstruation, the levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease rapidly, the stimulation of estrogen on the mammary gland weakens, and the mammary gland undergoes involution changes. The secretion of mammary ductal epithelial cells decreases, the cells atrophy, fall off, and the edema subsides. The volume of the mammary lobules and alveoli decreases. At this time, the breasts become smaller and softer, the pain and tenderness disappear, and the lumps also shrink or disappear. The countless repetitions of the menstrual cycle cause the breast to always be in this cycle of proliferation and involution, re-proliferation and re-involution, which is particularly evident in patients with breast hyperplasia.

Abnormalities generally have the following reasons: endocrine abnormalities such as abnormal secretion of various hormones or anovulation. In addition, when the endometrium is abnormal, such as endometrial tuberculosis causing endometrial rubbing or artificial abortion, curettage causing thin endometrium, endometrial adhesion, etc.

You should go to the hospital for a checkup to confirm the cause of scanty menstruation. Checking the six endocrine hormone levels is the main way to understand the hormone levels in the body. Testing the serum to see if there is any abnormality is best done on the third day of the menstrual cycle. If you can't do the check at this time, you should indicate the time of the checkup because the results of the checkups at different times are different. Make a good diagnosis of the relevant diseases, find out the cause, follow the doctor's advice, and treat the symptoms with medication. You should also do a breast B-ultrasound. It is very easy to get breast hyperplasia at this age. Pay attention to a light diet and stay happy.

The above is about the changes in the human body during the breast period. In fact, this is just a common phenomenon. In fact, many people cannot see any changes. Generally speaking, there is no regularity in a girl's menstrual period in the first three years, so don't worry. It will become regular in the future. Also, pay attention to your diet during menstruation, which will be very good for you in the future.
