My chest hurts when I touch it before my period

Before menstruation comes, the hormones in a woman's body will change, so during this period, many things will happen to a woman's body that are different from usual. For example, women often feel irritable and restless before their period. This is a symptom caused by hormone disorders. Some women also experience breast pain when their breasts are touched before their period. What's going on?

Before menstruation comes, the sex hormones in women's bodies will suddenly decrease, affecting the whole body system and causing pre-menstrual chest pain. This reaction usually occurs a few days before menstruation, becomes more severe on the day before menstruation, and gradually decreases and disappears with the symptoms of chest pain after menstruation. In medicine, this kind of obvious chest pain is called premenstrual syndrome.

Premenstrual syndrome usually occurs 7 to 14 days before menstruation, is most severe 2 to 3 days before menstruation, and the symptoms are significantly reduced or disappear after menstruation. Because everyone's physique is different, the symptoms are also different. Some women have more obvious chest pain symptoms, some have more obvious edema, and some have mental symptoms. Sometimes several symptoms appear at the same time, and the degree will vary.

Many healthy women will also experience chest discomfort or temperament changes before their menstrual period. Once this happens, they know clearly that their menstrual period is coming. They may also experience back pain, edema, irritability, restlessness, etc., collectively known as premenstrual discomfort. Generally, the degree is relatively mild and no treatment is required.

If you experience chest pain before your period, it is due to hormonal changes in the body. The breast congestion causes chest distension. Sometimes the sweat glands secrete very vigorously, causing acne or increased vaginal secretions. However, after the period, hormone secretion returns to normal and the symptoms of chest pain will naturally disappear. This is a very normal physiological characteristic. Breast pain usually occurs before menstruation, but can also occur after menstruation. Small nodules will appear in the breasts, which will be painful when touched. The pain will be relieved after menstruation, but will reappear before the next menstruation.

Many women will experience chest pain before their period, so they should consume more low-fat, high-fiber foods, supplement more vitamin C and vitamin B, quit the habit of drinking coffee every day, and proper massage is also an effective way to relieve pain. Develop good living habits and ensure good health.
