What causes chest pain before menstruation? See the experts' answers

Some women experience breast pain before their period. Experts say that this phenomenon is quite common and a normal physiological phenomenon. The symptoms usually disappear after the menstruation ends, so there is no need to worry too much.

1. Many female friends will feel obvious chest pain, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or difficulty breathing before menstruation. In fact, this is a normal physiological phenomenon. This is because when menstruation comes, the body's estrogen begins to be secreted in large quantities, especially in young women. The amount of secretion during this period is very large, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply, which leads to chest tightness and shortness of breath. There is no need to worry.

2. When the menstrual period comes, women's bodies will secrete a large amount of female hormones. When the amount is too large, it will cause endocrine disorders and lead to chest tightness and shortness of breath. Women should rest more during this period and ensure adequate sleep time.

4. During strong menstruation, the breasts may become swollen, hard, and tender. In severe cases, the breasts may become swollen and painful even with the slightest vibration or collision, and the original granules or nodules may become more obvious. This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of the breast interstitial tissue. If the pain is severe, you can take some Xiaoyao Pills.

5. After menstruation comes, the secretion levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease, the proliferation of breast tissue stops, and the edema of the breast interstitial tissue subsides, so the feeling of fullness is relieved and the pain gradually disappears.

6. If necessary conditioning or treatment is not given, more discomfort will occur, such as: premenstrual headaches, irritability, insomnia, even premenstrual body pain, mild edema, etc. These symptoms gradually disappear after menstruation and occur repeatedly once a month. Medically, they are called premenstrual tension syndrome. If this continues for a long time, breast disease will develop, the most common of which is breast hyperplasia.
