What causes breast pain when menstruation is not coming?

Most women will experience some changes in their bodies when they have their periods. Some women will experience dysmenorrhea, and some women will experience breast pain or swelling. For women of childbearing age, menstruation is a love-hate relationship. Although menstruation can make people feel uncomfortable, if menstruation is delayed, they are very worried that it is an unexpected pregnancy.

What causes breast pain when menstruation is not coming?

If you are not pregnant, but your breasts are swollen and painful, it means your period has not come. Generally speaking, Chinese medicine considers liver depression and qi stagnation. Because Chinese medicine believes that if the liver is depressed and qi is stagnant, or if a person is particularly prone to anger, premenstrual breast pain will occur. At this time, you can use medicines that soothe the liver, relieve depression and regulate menstruation, such as Xiaoyao Pills, Rupixiao Pills and Xiaojin Pills to treat the symptoms.

So if your breasts are swollen and painful before your period, you should first do a pregnancy test to rule out whether it is related to pregnancy. If the pregnancy test is negative, you can take Xiaoyao Pills or other medicines to regulate your condition. If you are really worried, you can also go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound to see if there are any problems with your breast and then deal with it accordingly.

Under normal circumstances, women's menstruation will come on time, but it cannot be ruled out that there is a problem with the woman's body and her menstruation is irregular. If it is irregular menstruation, breast pain will occur, but the menstruation is delayed when it should come. If this is the case, it is necessary to actively regulate the menstruation.

Is chest pain and lump serious?

The lumps can occur in one or both breasts, single or multiple, and are more common in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, but can also be seen in other quadrants. The lumps can be in the form of flakes, nodules, cords, or granules, with flakes being the most common. The lumps have unclear boundaries, are of medium or slightly hard texture, are well movable, have no adhesions to surrounding tissues, and are often tender. The lumps vary in size, ranging from as small as millet grains to larger than 3 to 4 cm. Breast lumps also change with the menstrual cycle, increasing in size and becoming harder before menstruation and shrinking and softening after menstruation.

If not, it is irregular menstruation, and you should pay more attention during menstruation. Even if you are craving for cold drinks or spicy food, you have to resist the urge to eat it.
