Breast-Tenderness


Breast-Tenderness

There are many possible causes for breast pain. Hormonal fluctuations related to menstruation or pregnancy are often responsible for breast tenderness. Some degree of swelling and tenderness just before your period is normal. Some breast enlargement and breast nodules also appear around ovulation and may persist until the next period. Drinking caffeine may increase this sensation.

Breast tenderness is often the first symptom of pregnancy but would not occur before a missed period. During the menstrual cycle (just before period) and in the early stages of menopause (perimenopause) breasts tend to become tenderer. Symptoms of breast tenderness include pain, heaviness and sensitivity to touch. These changes are caused by hormonal fluctuation (overproduction of estrogen). Hormonal imbalances can be an indication of a stressed liver. Conditions such as breast tenderness in association with PMT indicate the liver is not efficiently detoxing and removing excess hormones. Taking a herbal liver formula will aid in hormone metabolism and may improve symptoms of PMT such as breast tenderness. Improving the diet by including fresh fruit and vegetables and reducing refined sugar and 'junk foods' will also improve liver function

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.
