What causes chest pain before menstruation?

Menstruation is a relatively special physiological phenomenon for women, and it is also a period when abnormal conditions are prone to occur. Mainly, during menstruation, some changes will occur in women's bodies, and many diseases are also likely to manifest at this time. Among them, the most typical one is chest pain before menstruation. So, what is the cause of chest pain before menstruation? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Before menstruation, the breasts may become swollen, hard, and tender. In severe cases, the breasts may 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 may disappear after menstruation.

Experts say: Breast tenderness that occurs too early before menstruation, after menstruation is over or after ovulation, and pain when putting on underwear or touching the breasts are all pathological and can easily lead to gynecological diseases such as infertility and breast tumors.

Premenstrual breast pain is an early and important signal of gynecological disease. Strictly speaking, female breasts are part of the reproductive system and are greatly affected by estrogen and progesterone. If the body's endocrine system or ovarian function is disturbed at a certain stage, it will affect the menstrual cycle and breast tissue, thereby causing a series of diseases. The most common and mildest symptom is premenstrual breast swelling. 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 things go on like this, breast disease will develop, the most common of which is breast hyperplasia. Menstruation may also be disrupted, resulting in menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, which will lead to infertility.

The above is an introduction to premenstrual chest pain. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. There are many factors that cause women to experience chest pain before their period. When this symptom occurs, it is best to go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis, and then take effective measures to treat it to avoid causing greater harm to women's health.
