If a woman suffers from breast pain and nipple pain before her period, she can relieve the pain by applying hot compresses. She can use a hot compress bag, a hot water bottle, or just take a hot bath. This can quickly relieve premenstrual breast pain. If the effect is not ideal, you can consider alternating hot and cold compresses to relieve the pain. Let’s take a look at how to take care of your breast tenderness and nipple pain.

To take vitamins, your diet should include foods rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins. These vitamins help regulate the production of prostaglandins. At the same time, eat less margarine because the hydrogenated fat in it interferes with the body's ability to convert essential fatty acids (from food) into gamma-linoleic acid (GIA), which promotes the formation of prostaglandins and inhibits the production of prolactin.

Try heat compresses, a traditional Chinese medical treatment that can relieve breast pain using a heat bag, hot water bottle, or hot bath. If you use alternating cold and hot compresses, the effect of eliminating breast discomfort will be better. Prevent obesity.

Castor oil contains a substance that can enhance the function of lymphocytes, which can accelerate the recovery of various infections and eliminate pain. The method is: drop castor oil on cotton cloth folded into four layers, let it be soaked with castor oil, but not too wet to avoid dripping everywhere. Apply the cloth to your breasts, cover with a layer of plastic wrap, and then place a hot compress bag on top. Adjust the heat pack to a temperature you can tolerate and leave it on for an hour.
