Breast pain two days before menstruation

Is it normal to have breast tenderness two days before your period?

Many women may have experienced similar symptoms before their period, such as breast tenderness, which decreases or disappears with the onset of menstruation. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon and you don’t need to be too nervous. This symptom is generally closely related to a woman’s mood. If you want to alleviate this symptom, you must keep a good mood, don’t get angry, and pay more attention to rest.

Female friends generally experience some abnormalities in the body a few days before menstruation, because the body's immunity and digestive ability will decrease a few days before menstruation. At this time, you need to pay attention to self-care, not only pay attention to diet but also need to keep a regular schedule. Many female friends will experience breast tenderness a few days before their period.

Before menstruation, I feel breast pain and sometimes I can feel a painful lump. This is because the breast glands, like the endometrium, also undergo changes in the menstrual cycle, with a premenstrual proliferation phase and a postmenstrual recovery phase. The premenstrual proliferative period refers to the 7 to 10 days before menstruation. At this time, due to the increase in estrogen and progesterone concentrations, hyperfunction of antidiuretic hormone, and increased aldosterone secretion, the mammary ducts expand, the epithelial cells proliferate and hypertrophy, and the edema of the matrix around the mammary ducts causes compression symptoms and pain.

At the same time, the immature fibers of the breast increase, lymphocytes infiltrate, and the breasts enlarge, and you will feel distension, pain and discomfort. The menstrual recovery period refers to the period after the onset of menstruation, when the secretion of estrogen, progesterone and antidiuretic hormone in the body decreases, the milk ducts become smaller, the epithelial cells atrophy, the immature breast fibers decrease, and the symptoms of breast tenderness disappear.

Effect of menstruation

1. Cleaning out uterine waste: The day when your period comes every month is the day when the uterus cleans out waste. Menstrual blood helps you to eliminate toxins from your body. The average life expectancy of women is higher than that of men because they have menstruation as a detoxification channel!

2. Menstruation causes the body to lose and produce blood periodically, which gives women's circulatory and hematopoietic systems a kind of "exercise" that men do not have. In the event of accidental blood loss, new blood can be produced more quickly to make up for the lost blood.

3 points to pay attention to make detoxification smoother

1. Avoid cold: eat less raw, cold food such as ice cream, avoid cold water, and do not swim.

2. Pay attention to personal hygiene: take a shower, use clean and disinfected sanitary napkins, and strictly prohibit sexual intercourse during menstruation.

3. Avoid irritating foods: caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, barbecued and fried foods may cause discomfort during menstruation.
