What to do if you have nipple pain before your period

There are many types of breast pain in women, including breast pain during adolescence, premenstrual breast pain, pregnancy pain, postpartum pain, etc. Among them, premenstrual breast pain is a problem faced by many women. More than half of women experience breast fullness, hardness and tenderness before menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts may become swollen and painful even with the slightest vibration or collision, and the original granular or nodular feeling may become more obvious. This is due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of the breast tissue. After menstruation, the above changes may disappear. Regarding the question of what to do if you have nipple pain before menstruation, I have summarized the following points. Let’s take a look together.

1 Women with liver and kidney yin deficiency often suffer from breast pain, irritability, restless sleep, headache and dizziness, hot hands and feet, red lips, easy ulcers on the lips and tongue, thin body and inability to gain weight, back pain, weak knees, etc. Treatment should focus on nourishing the kidney and liver. Commonly used medicines include Adenophora Root, Ophiopogon japonicus, Rehmannia glutinosa, Toosendan Fructus, Cyperus rotundus, White Peony Root, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Eupatorium fortunei.

2 Most of these women with liver depression and qi stagnation have a history of bad mood or excessive stress in life. In addition to the pain and tenderness of the breast nipples that cannot be touched, they are also accompanied by irritability, chest tightness, rib cramps, irritability, nausea, swelling and pain in the lower abdomen, dark blood clots in menstruation, uncoordinated sexual life, dark spots on the face, etc. Treatment should focus on regulating the liver, qi and stomach. Commonly used medicines include Linderae odoratum, Curcuma aromatica, Citrus citron, White Peony Root, Citrus aurantium, Atractylodes macrocephala, malt, and Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae.

3 Common symptoms of liver depression and spleen dampness include premenstrual breast pain, obvious tenderness, lower abdominal pain with a feeling of heaviness, poor appetite, weakness in the limbs, easy diarrhea, excessive vaginal discharge, and light-colored menstruation. Treatment requires invigorating the spleen, eliminating dampness and promoting qi circulation. Commonly used medicines include Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Coix seed, Magnolia officinalis, Toosendan fruit, Albizzia julibrissin bark, etc.

The above content is an introduction to what to do if you have nipple pain before menstruation. I believe that after reading it, you will understand this aspect. You must adjust your emotions at ordinary times. You can use the palms of both hands to gently wrap one breast from both sides. Then tighten your hands and use your thumbs at the base of the breasts to push the breasts upward from the bottom. Repeat 10 times on each side. Note that when your breasts are swollen and painful, it is best not to massage them to avoid excessive stimulation to the breasts.
