What causes chest pain during menstruation?

Many women experience chest pain during menstruation. In fact, this is a relatively normal symptom, mainly caused by the influence of progesterone, which leads to disorders in the endocrine system or ovarian function.

1. Female breasts are part of the reproductive system and are greatly affected by estrogen and progesterone. If the body's endocrine system or ovarian function is disturbed at a certain stage, it will affect the menstrual cycle and breast tissue, thereby causing a series of diseases. The most common and mildest symptom is premenstrual breast swelling.

2. If necessary conditioning or treatment is not given, more discomfort will occur, such as: premenstrual headaches, irritability, insomnia, even premenstrual body pain, mild edema, etc. These symptoms gradually disappear after menstruation and occur repeatedly once a month. Medically, they are called premenstrual tension syndrome. If this continues for a long time, breast disease will develop, the most common of which is breast hyperplasia.

3. Many women have experienced breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness before menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts may become swollen and painful with just a slight vibration or collision, and the original granules or nodules may become more obvious. This is especially true for those with abnormal menstruation, fuller breasts, or excessive mental stress.

4. After menstruation comes, the secretion levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease, the proliferation of breast tissue stops, and the edema of the breast interstitial tissue subsides, so the feeling of fullness is relieved and the pain gradually disappears.

5. This type of breast pain occurs before menstruation and relieves on its own after menstruation, so no special treatment is required. However, you can also take Yimu Gao half a month before menstruation. If the pain is severe, it can be relieved by regulating menstruation.
