Chest pain every time menstruation comes

It is a normal physiological phenomenon for women to experience chest pain every time their menstruation is about to come. When menstruation is about to come, the secretion of estrogen in the body increases and the breasts begin to develop. At this time, the breasts will grow slower and harder, so chest pain will occur. We can massage the breasts to relieve the pain. When you feel chest pain when your period is about to come, massaging your breasts can promote breast development and relieve milk blockage.

What causes menstrual chest pain

Chest pain during menstruation is mostly a normal phenomenon caused by hormone fluctuations. For example, breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness during and before menstruation are mostly normal phenomena and are related to hormone fluctuations in the body during menstruation. Breast pain is caused by many situations. Women may experience breast pain during breast development, during pregnancy, or after abortion. However, most women experience breast pain before and after their menstrual period, which may be caused by fluctuations in hormone levels in the body.

Due to the fluctuation of hormone levels, breast tissue hyperplasia and edema of intermammary tissue occur, which eventually makes women feel breast pain. Of course, breast pain during menstruation is not necessarily normal. Women need to be alert to pathological breast pain. If the breast pain during menstruation does not ease after menstruation, or if the pain is very severe, or even hurts when touched, then you need to pay attention. This is pathological breast pain, which is likely caused by breast disease and is related to breast hyperplasia, mastitis, and even breast tumors. You need to ask a professional doctor to diagnose the breasts.

At any time, self-palpation is an effective way for women to judge whether their breast condition is normal. You can use your hands to feel whether there are nodules in the breast. If so, feel the hardness, texture, smoothness, and adhesion to the skin. So, what kind of breast lumps are considered normal during menstruation? Most breast lumps are multiple, more than one, of varying sizes, hard or tough in texture, the lumps are not adhered to the skin, and the surface is often not smooth and has a granular feel. Breast lumps also have the characteristic of changing with the menstrual cycle. Generally speaking, the breast lumps will increase in size and become harder a few days before menstruation, and will shrink and become soft after menstruation.

However, if you can clearly feel the nodule, you should seek medical attention in time and let the doctor make an accurate judgment.
