What should women do when they have breast pain during menstruation?

Women's menstruation is cyclical, and many women experience breast pain during their menstruation every month. As for the problem of what to do when you have breast pain during menstruation, you can try dietary adjustments, or you can massage your breasts appropriately to relieve breast pain.

1. Change your eating habits

Eat a low-fat, high-fiber diet, consuming fiber from whole grains (whole grains), vegetables, and legumes.

2. Massage your breasts regularly

Gently massaging the breasts can help return excess body fluid to the lymphatic system. When massaging, first apply soapy liquid to the breast, and rotate your fingers along the surface of the breast in a circle about the size of a coin. Then use your hands to press the breasts in and bounce them up, which is extremely helpful in preventing breast discomfort.

3. Wear a suitable bra

In addition to preventing breast sagging, the more important function of a bra is to prevent further compression of the already compressed breast nerves and eliminate discomfort. Careful sisters will find that those jogging athletes wear stable bras for this health reason.

4. Hot compress

Hot compress is a relatively traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. You can use some hot water bags or hot water bottles to relieve some breast pain. If you use cold therapy, you need to alternate between hot and cold to eliminate breast pain. The effect will be better. We need to remind everyone that hot compress can only temporarily relieve symptoms and has no therapeutic effect.

5. Take vitamins

The diet should contain foods rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins. These vitamins help regulate the production of prostaglandin E. At the same time, eat less margarine because the hydrogenated fat in it interferes with the body's ability to convert essential fatty acids (from food) into gamma-linoleic acid (GIA), which promotes the formation of prostaglandin E and inhibits the production of prolactin.
