Breast exam: Anytime one notices a new mass, lump, bump or skin change in the breast it is very important to have this evaluated by a doctor who can help determine if any work up or testing is needed. Benign causes of breast pain can be caused by weight gain, diet changes, changes in exercise patterns, ill fitting bras, caffeine intake, hormonal fluctuations and others.

: Your pain/discomfort features suggest allodynia or neuropathic pain caused by stimuli that should not cause pain otherwise. An interventional pain service would be best in order to complete workup and to initiate a therapeutic trial.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Possibilities: It is not uncommon for some women to occasionally skip a cycle. Failure to release an egg is cited as a cause in some. If/when you go past 60-90 days without a cycle sometimes an OBGYN would offer a med to bring on menses if testing showed you were not pregnant.

Yes: Yes this can be normal - but 51 years do get pregnant - so get this checked. Plus get a mammogram if you have not had this done.  Plus get a Thyroid and prolactin blood test.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Premenstrual syndrom: This sounds more like PMS than menopause. With the approach of menopause, your periods usually become less regular. The incidence of PMS increases as we age and more women have it in their 20's than in their teens and more in their 30's than in their 20's. Exercise is a big help with PMS. There are also some diet changes and supplements that you can try. For drug treatment the SSRI's are used most

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Many things: Periods, pregnancy, coffee, breast feeding, infection, lesions in breasts (cysts, lymph nodes) medications, etc...

Question 8

cramping and breast tenderness on day 20 of cycle ?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal response: most likely secondary to a late LH surge with progesterone response. Use Advil or Aleve (naproxen) if not allergic and monitor your cycles.

Question 9

how can i stop breast tenderness before my periods?

Accepted Answer

No caffeine,add VitE: As always, it is important to make sure there is no underlying disease. Breast exams are an important part of the gynecologic exam and mammography is valuable for those women over 40 or those with certain risk factors. That said, decreasing caffeine (coffee, tea, cola, chocolate, energy drinks, etc.) and adding vitamin E may help.

Question 10
