Why do I have breast pain a week before my period?

Breast pain is a common condition among female friends. In our daily life and work, we often hear people discussing these issues, but the duration and level of pain are different for each person. Some people may experience breast pain before their menstrual period, which disappears automatically after their menstrual period, while others may experience breast discomfort all the time. So, is it normal for female friends to experience breast pain a week before their period? What is the reason?

In fact, premenstrual breast pain is very common among female friends, and many people have experienced this condition. We discuss this from the following two perspectives:

First, during the transition of the physiological cycle, the body's growth hormone is also changing. Generally, before menstruation, women's bodies have higher levels of female hormones, and female hormones and estrogens can promote breast reproduction and the growth of mammary gland alveoli. In this case, the increased hormone is likely to stimulate abnormal changes in breast tissue, resulting in breast pain or swelling. It can be said that this is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the pain symptoms are not very serious, women do not need to worry too much.

Second, if some breast pain symptoms are more obvious, the possibility of suffering from breast disease may be ruled out. You can palpate your breasts to see if there are any lumps or masses, so that you can get a rough idea. Of course, if the pain is more obvious, it is best not to delay and go to the hospital for a physical examination first. If there are breast symptoms, it is better to take treatment measures as soon as possible to avoid further development of the disease. If the disease is treated within the optimal treatment time, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In general, these are some basic conditions related to breast pain that we often talk about today. There are so many women with breast discomfort, and the causes and severity of each person are different. The actual situation still needs to be determined after examination. If the examination is normal, it is the best. Even if there are abnormalities, timely treatment after diagnosis can minimize the damage.
