When women are about to have their menstrual period, their estrogen levels in the body will rapidly increase. At this time, there will be many changes in the body, such as the growth of acne, a very irritable temper, and a feeling of breast swelling and pain. Breast swelling and pain before menstruation is normal. So, what should I do if I have breast swelling and pain at this time?
If the breast swelling and pain before menstruation are caused by hormonal changes, this is a physiological phenomenon that does not require treatment or medication. You can massage the chest appropriately or use hot compress to relieve the breast swelling. Pay attention to rest more, don't stay up late, and don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself.
If breast swelling and pain are caused by breast diseases, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination to see if it is breast hyperplasia, determine the cause, and then take medication for treatment. The diet before menstruation needs to be light, eat more foods rich in protein and calcium, maintain a good mood, and exercise appropriately.
Overall, breast tenderness before menstruation is often physiological and caused by hormonal changes, so it does not require special treatment and will naturally alleviate after menstruation ends. If the breast swelling and pain are severe, immediate breast ultrasound examination is needed to determine the specific cause and receive targeted treatment.
