Question 1

breasts sore all month except for a few days before and during period. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Most likely.: Your breasts get sore as the level of estrogen rises after your period.  I would talk to your primary doctor or GYN regarding treatment options to help with tenderness if you desire and make sure to get annual check-ups.

Question 2

is it normal for one breast to be more sore when squeezed than the other during period?

Accepted Answer

Breast tenderness: Many women complain of breast tenderness during their menstrual cycle. Birth control is very good at regulating the hormonal fluctuations to help with this. I am not sure we can say if it is normal for one to hurt more than the other specifically during the act of squeezing.

Question 3

day after period breasts sore, never had sex nausea and lightheadedness during period really heavy normal time cycle?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Question 4

is breast tenderness normal during period? i know it can happen before but what about during?

Accepted Answer

Varies: No two women necessarily describe the same thing, but many get breast tenderness during their periods. Yes, it's normal.

Question 5

40 years old woman with chronic pain in left shoulder+ left breast pain becomes worse during  period and ecg+echo are normal, is it breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Need mamogram/ultra: This can be a number of things.  breast pain is not a common presenting symptom of breast cancer, but can occur.  breast pain during menses is common due to enlargement of the breast ducts during the estrogen surge.  I would have a mammogram or ultrasound if you have a painful lump, although this is usually due to fibrocystic disease

Question 6

leaking milk from breasts during period. whats wrong?

Accepted Answer

See your Gyn : Many reasons for breast "milk" discharge: hormonal, that is from the pituitary gland in your brain possibly an small tumor within that gland, also, medicinal related, and finally persistent production from delivery. So see your gyn.

Question 7

oaioaad heaviness of upper and right side of right breast two weeks before period then stops during period. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Estrogen : Effects . Why it is bothering your riff her breast more than the left is not so clear but probably related to where the receptors are

Question 8

why should you wait until after your period to do breast exams? can you be lumpier during period then after?

Accepted Answer

Lumpiest: Due to the hormonal changes during your cycle, breasts are generally at their most lumpy and most tender normally before your period so you are more likely to worry about something normal or miss something abnormal then. They are normally the least tender and lumpy just after your period when the progesterone is lowest. Hope this helps.

Question 9

im touching sth on my left breast witch is getting bigger during period time and gets smaller after it. should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Breast: Swelling can be a normal part of menstrual cycle.   Many women experience this.  The important thing is that it returns back to normal post cycle.

Question 10

i 32 yrs i have a mass n my left breast doctor told me it is just fibrous mass but i feel pain before n during period in my breast what do you advise?

Accepted Answer

Breast mass: Make sure you've had a mammogram and ultrasound. If a cyst is found aspiration of the cystic fluid can eliminate the pain.
