Breast pain before period

Many women experience breast pain before their period. Many women will seek medical attention because of severe breast pain, but Western medicine does not have any better treatment methods and can only let women take some blood-activating and blood-stasis-relieving drugs. In traditional Chinese medicine, breast pain before menstruation is caused by qi stagnation. There are some methods that can be used to improve the pain. Let’s learn about the details together.

There will be some changes in a girl's body before her period, such as a significant increase in estrogen levels, breast swelling, and even pain or soreness. When menstruation comes, the levels of sex hormones and progesterone will decrease, the stimulation of estrogen on the breast will be weakened, and the breast will return to its original appearance. The secretion of mammary duct epithelial cells will also reduce cell atrophy and begin to fall off. The edema will gradually subside, the breasts will become smaller and softer, and the feeling of abdominal pain will disappear. These are all normal physiological conditions. If the breast pain is particularly severe before menstruation, we can use some methods to relieve the pain, such as applying hot compresses to the breasts with a towel. This can reduce breast pain and also help breast growth.

Based on the above introduction, we can find that it is normal for women to experience breast pain before their period, so we should not worry too much about whether it is caused by a certain disease. In addition to endocrine factors, if we experience frequent and severe pain, we need to consider whether it is caused by pathological factors. If it is a pathological factor, we need to check it at all times. After all, there are many reasons for breast diseases. If we do not check it in time and confirm our condition, it may have a serious impact on our body.
