Question 1

are lumpy breasts normal 10 days before period, my right breast even more lumpy but when checked after period they seemed fine, nipples also get itchy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your breasts respond to increased Progesterone produced in the second half of your cycle, then return to normal after your period when the levels have dropped.  This is why the best time to check your breasts for lumps is about a week after your period.

Question 2

just before i'm due for my period i get itchy why is that?

Accepted Answer

"Periodic" itching: Not any unusual symptom prior to onset of a period. Due to the hormonal changes that initiate uterine sloughing. Antihistamines sometimes lessen symptoms. Hormone therapy may also help. Suggest starting with a gynecologist.

Question 3

i  get itchy  bumps on my butt evertime i'm on my period?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone: Some people may have an allergic reaction to Progesterone and thus the itchy bumps with the period.  An allergist can assist you in confirming this suspicion.

Question 4

what could cause a sore / itchy vulva before period?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection. : This is common, the yeast grows because of the bleeding. Your doctor can prescribe something for it. Using a disposable vinegar & water douche before the itching starts may help.

Question 5

about 1 week before period starts and only notice at night. my vagina gets quite itchy.. been happening for 1 year. i have always had discharg?

Accepted Answer

Likely yeast: About 1 in 10 women will get recurrent fungal vaginal infections.  They usually occur at about the same time each cycle.  It would require and exam and some office testing to confirm that you are experiencing recurrent yeast infections, but if that is the case it is very treatable with suppressive medication.

Question 6

can someone please tel me a quick cure for jock itch please? its soo itchy would it get cured within a period of time without a period of time ?

Accepted Answer

Nothing quick: You can get over the counter medicines for this. Apply twice a day for two weeks. Then once a day for two weeks. Change to all cotton underwear.

Question 7

itchy breast before period? normal? or pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Itchy Breasts: Itchy breasts are not a symptom that i associate with pregnancy or menstrual cycles.  Could you be wearing something different during this time, such as a different clothing or perfume?  If there is a rash associated with the itch, an in-office evaluation would be best.  If you are concerned you might be pregnant, i would advise getting proper testing and evaluation.

Question 8

two days before period. yesterday vagina was burning and painful, but not itchy. today woke up and very swollen. help?

Accepted Answer

Need to see doctor: This needs to be evaluated and treated appropriately right away. I hope you feel better soon after seeing your doctor.

Question 9

is it normal for a teen girl's vagina's to hurt, get itchy, and give brown and black blood before and or after the period cycle every month?

Accepted Answer

See OB/GYN: doesn't sound normal. see your OB/GYN doc. good luck!

Question 10

every month during my period my eyelids swell up and get itchy.  why does that happen? they swell up while i'm sleeping and go down after i''ve been up for awhile.  they swell up between days 2 and 4 of my period.

Accepted Answer

That : That is a very rare symptom.  The first thing i would be worried about would be an allergic reaction.  If you are taking anything for discomfort from menstruation, such as advil (ibuprofen) or another medication, i would wonder if you are allergic to it.  Fluid retention is another possibility, although again to have eyelid swelling would be very rare; most women have more "overall" fluid retention.  My first concern would be some type of allergic reaction.  Please do discuss this with your doctor.  If you have increased swelling, any rash, any shortness of breath or new symptoms then you would have to be seen immediately in the er.
