Why Do My Breasts Become Painful Before Every Period?
2 weeks ago
A few days before my period starts, my breasts become swollen, tender, and uncomfortable to touch. The pain usually improves afterward, but it happens every month. Is this normal?

Breast tenderness before menstruation is commonly linked to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. Many women experience varying degrees of swelling and discomfort before their periods begin.
While cyclical breast pain is often benign, severe symptoms or new breast changes should still be evaluated. Monitoring patterns over time can help determine whether further assessment is needed.
