Why do I have breast pain before my period?

Women may feel uncomfortable before menstruation. At this time, they cannot choose medication for treatment at will, otherwise it will cause great harm to the body. Many discomforts are normal. Choosing some simple relief methods can be very helpful in improving such problems. So why do breasts hurt before menstruation? Many women don’t know this. Let’s introduce it in detail below.

Why does breast pain occur before menstruation?

First of all, there are many reactions before menstruation, such as drowsiness, frequent thirst, and breast pain. At this time, we can try hot compress, which is very effective for premenstrual breast pain. When you feel pain, apply a hot towel to your breasts, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of pain.

In fact, improper diet can also cause premenstrual breast pain, especially long-term drinking of caffeinated foods such as tea and coffee, excessive salt intake and drinking large amounts of water immediately because of thirst, because this not only fails to neutralize the salt, but also allows the salt to penetrate into the blood through the liquid and compress the blood vessels. Therefore, you should pay attention to your salt intake and avoid drinking caffeine-rich foods such as tea and coffee before your period.

If the breast pain is severe, we cannot rule out the possibility of breast hyperplasia. At this time, we need to observe carefully, check and knead whether there are hard lumps or particles around the breast nipples. If so, it is breast hyperplasia that is causing the problem and medical treatment is needed.

After understanding what causes breast pain before menstruation, massage is a good choice to relieve breast pain before menstruation. It is very helpful in relieving such a situation. However, when massaging, the strength should be appropriate and not too strong, which will not help you at all.
