Premenstrual chest pain

Many girls feel uncomfortable in their chests and have chest pain before their period. This is a very normal symptom. It means that the estrogen in women's bodies will rise rapidly before their period. When the estrogen reaches its peak, the women's breasts will feel swollen. So how can we relieve the chest pain during menstruation?

Breast pain before menstruation is mainly caused by hormone fluctuations in the body. During the premenstrual period, estrogen and progesterone reach a peak, and at this time, hormones cause water and sodium retention and edema in the body, resulting in tissue swelling. In addition, after menstruation, hormones drop, and breast hyperplasia faces a repair process. If the hyperplasia and repair cannot reach a balance, the patient is more prone to pain. In addition, menopausal women are also more likely to experience breast pain, and their menstruation does not have a clear pattern. This is because the hormone fluctuations in her body are relatively disordered.

Premenstrual breast tenderness is a manifestation of premenstrual syndrome caused by increased estrogen levels in the body, breast hyperplasia and breast tissue edema. Symptoms usually disappear after your period.

Regular inspection and early prevention are necessary.
