What Can I Do About Breast-Tenderness?
Wear a supportive bra.The bra should support your breasts without creating irritation. Some women with breast tenderness find it comfortable to also wear a bra while sleeping.
Cut down on coffee and tea.
Coffee and tea contain methyl xanthins which can cause breast lumps (fibrocystic breast disease).
Change your Diet.
Your diet should be rich in vitamin E, which can be found in cereals, wheat germ and nuts. Animal fat should be reduced as much as possible. Breast tenderness seems to be linked with constipation. Studies have shown that women with few bowel movements had a greater chance of having breast tenderness. Intake of essential fatty acids will decrease breast tenderness and lumps. Essential oils can be found in supplements, oily fish, nuts and linseed. The isoflavones in soy and flax seed help block the estrogen receptors in the breast, thereby preventing over stimulation by estrogen.
