Why is my chest bloating and pain due to my period approaching?

Menstruation is another name for the menstrual period of women, and menstruation is a condition in which the female ovaries grow and develop periodically and shedding causes bleeding. When women are in their menstrual period, their body immunity will decrease, and they will experience lower abdominal pain, irritability, chest tightness and shortness of breath. However, some women will feel chest pain when their period is about to come. What is going on?

There are many reasons for breast pain when menstruation is about to come. It may be caused by hormonal imbalance caused by irregular menstruation, or it may be caused by breast fullness or hardening when menstruation is about to come. Therefore, we recommend that you treat this disease well in your life to avoid affecting your life and work and rest. Let us now understand the causes of its disease.

Most breast pain is not a sign of cancer. Generally speaking, this kind of menstruation-related pain, which causes periodic distension or tingling as the menstrual cycle approaches and then eases or disappears after the menstrual period comes, is mostly caused by hormonal changes in the body. In fact, breast pain in most women is not serious, but some women will have pain in the armpit, shoulder or back on the same side, or even "pain at the slightest touch". Such women should go to the hospital for a breast examination as soon as possible to consider the possibility of proliferative lesions. If necessary, danazol, tamoxifen or some blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing drugs can be used to relieve pain.

Nowadays, many women wear small and tight bras in pursuit of cleavage, ignoring the most basic function of the bra itself, which seriously affects the blood circulation of the breasts. This is also one of the important reasons why more and more women feel breast pain. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends can "loosen" their breasts, choose suitable bras or underwear, shorten the time of wearing bras as much as possible, and do breast massage before going to bed. In addition, it is best for women of childbearing age to learn how to self-examine their breasts, especially those who have undergone breast plastic surgery. If conditions permit, they can go to a regular hospital for regular breast surgery examinations.

Contract the pectoralis major muscle and check whether the shape of the breasts is normal. During palpation, you can lie on the bed, stretch the arm being tested, raise the shoulder being tested with a pillow, and touch the breast with the flat part of the opposite finger. The fingers should be close together and stretched out, with the palm and fingers forming a flat surface, and touch the breast (do not pinch it), stroking from bottom to top.
