What to do if your breasts swell before your period

Breast pain before menstruation is because your body is sending you a message that your period is coming. This is a type of menstrual pain that usually disappears after your period ends. It does not require special treatment, so just keep a happy mood. Before menstruation, estrogen levels rise, the breasts feel swollen and painful, and lumps can be felt. If the lumps do not disappear after a long time, it may be breast hyperplasia. Traditional Chinese medicine says that if the breasts are unobstructed, there will be no pain, so we should take better care of our breasts.

1 Breast pain can be physiological or pathological. It is normal for women to experience pain and tenderness before their menstrual period (due to hormone levels after ovulation). If the symptoms are severe or irregular, or there are local breast lumps, etc., they are pathological and require diagnosis and treatment in the hospital's surgery or breast specialist department for B-ultrasound and mammography.

2 It is recommended to keep the breasts clean, wash them frequently with warm water, and pay attention to changes in breast lumps. You can often eat foods that have the effect of promoting qi and dispersing stagnation, such as kelp, oranges, orange cakes, oysters, etc., and avoid eating raw, cold, and spicy foods.

3. When the menstrual period comes, changes in hormone levels in the body will cause various discomforts in the body. It is recommended to go to a Chinese medicine hospital to see a doctor for specific conditioning. At the same time, it is also necessary to exercise more to improve immunity and local blood circulation. Suggestions: It is recommended to go to a local Chinese medicine hospital to find an experienced Chinese medicine doctor for conditioning.

4 Many women experience breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness before menstruation; in severe cases, the breasts will become swollen and painful with the slightest vibration or collision. This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of breast tissue. The above changes will disappear after menstruation. Suggestions: Your condition is medically called mastalgia, which is a physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment. Massaging your breasts for a few minutes before going to bed or applying hot compresses are effective ways to relieve breast pain.

As mentioned above, I hope to give a reference to all female friends. Eighty percent of women have symptoms of bloating and pain before menstruation. This is not a disease, but a normal reaction. You can also feel the changes in your breasts during pregnancy. You can use proper massage to relieve pain, or take a hot bath to promote blood circulation. There is no need to panic about pathological breast hyperplasia. Early medical treatment and the use of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture can achieve significant results.
