What should I do if my breasts swell before my period?

If you experience breast pain before your period, you should pay attention to proper diet adjustment, adopt a low-fat, high-fiber diet, take in enough vitamins, and supplement nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. You should also pay attention to adjusting your mood and relaxing yourself.

1. Diet therapy

Eat a low-fat, high-fiber diet, such as fiber from whole grains (whole grains), vegetables, and beans. Eat more foods rich in vitamins, and consume foods rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and B vitamins. These vitamins help regulate the production of prostaglandin E, which in turn inhibits the effects of prolactin. Avoid margarine and other hydrogenated fats.

2. Avoid diuretics

Diuretics do help remove fluid from the body and can also reduce breast swelling. But this immediate relief comes at a cost. Excessive use of diuretics can lead to potassium loss, disrupt electrolyte balance, and affect glucose formation.

3. Relaxed Mood

When you are nervous, the adrenaline secreted by the adrenal glands will also interfere with the conversion function of GIA.

4. Quit coffee

Whether caffeine can cause breast discomfort has not been confirmed so far, but medical surveys have found that many women with breast pain and other benign symptoms have significant improvement in their symptoms after quitting caffeine. Therefore, for the sake of breast health, you have to give up your coffee habit.

To relieve breast pain, women actually need to pay attention to their diet and health, learn to take good care of their breasts, quit the bad habit of drinking coffee, etc. For patients with breast pain who need medication, in addition to paying attention to eating habits and breast care methods, it is also very important to maintain an optimistic attitude.
