What to do if your breasts swell and hurt during menstruation

Breast pain during menstruation is mainly caused by breast hyperplasia, which is a common gynecological disease. Currently, less than half of women are affected by it. It is closely related to our daily life, especially in terms of diet. If women suffer from breast hyperplasia, they should eat more foods high in fiber and vitamins, or eat foods that are good for the breasts.

1. Milk and dairy products

Milk and dairy products are rich in calcium, which is beneficial to breast health.

2. Fish and seafood

Yellow croaker, turtle, loach, hairtail, octopus, squid, sea cucumber, oyster, kelp, sea wormwood, etc. are rich in trace elements essential to the human body and have a unique effect in protecting the mammary gland.

3. Edible fungi

Foods such as Tremella, black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, and Poria cocos are natural biological response regulators that can enhance the body's immune ability and have strong anti-cancer effects. Studies have shown that eating more edible fungi can improve women's breast health.

4. Nuts and seeds

Seed and nut foods include soybeans and peanuts containing lecithin, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, etc. which are rich in protein. They contain large amounts of antioxidants and can have anti-cancer effects. Moreover, nuts and seeds can increase the body's intake of vitamin E, and rich intake of vitamin E can make breast tissue more elastic.

5. Soybeans

Increasing your intake of soy foods can be beneficial for breast health. Because soybeans and foods processed from soybeans contain isoflavones, a substance that can lower estrogen levels in women and reduce breast discomfort. If you eat two meals a day containing foods such as tofu, soy milk, etc., it will be very beneficial to breast health.

Breast hyperplasia also has very high requirements for some mental factors. Patients should clearly understand that mental factors are closely related to breast diseases, so they should also pay attention to their mentality in life and not get angry easily. They can do some outdoor sports at ordinary times, but pay attention to protecting the breasts to avoid some external injuries, and do not come into contact with tobacco, alcohol or some highly irritating foods.
