What causes breast pain before menstruation?

Breast pain before each menstruation may be a normal phenomenon, mastitis, breast hyperplasia, etc.

1. Normal phenomenon: Before menstruation, the estrogen and progesterone in the body will increase, stimulating the breast area and causing pain. This is a normal phenomenon and generally does not require special treatment.

2. Mastitis: If you suffer from mastitis, it will cause breast damage. The increased secretion of premenstrual hormones will damage the breasts and cause symptoms such as swelling and pain. Severe cases can cause nipple discharge. You can take amoxicillin clavulanate potassium tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, ciprofloxacin hydrochloride capsules and other medications under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Breast hyperplasia: It is a benign female disease that often occurs between the ages of 30 and 50. It may be caused by an imbalance in the estrogen-progesterone ratio, elevated prolactin, or taking birth control pills. It can also lead to more obvious symptoms during menstruation, causing breast pain, nodules, lumps, etc. It requires treatment with drugs such as Ru Capsules, Xiaoyao Pills, and Xiaojin Capsules. If the condition is more serious, untimely treatment may lead to suspicious lesions. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and surgically remove the lesions.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be the cause of breast cancer and requires medical attention.
