A member asked:
My breast hurt every month like clock work. is there anything besides otc nsaids that will ease this or yes completely stop this!?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Caffeine, a high fat diet and obesity can all make the breast pain worse. Consider having a professional bra fitting which is done at many department stores you may need to use a larger cup size or avoid underwire bras part of the month. Aerobic exercise decreases menstrual cycle symptoms. If none of these work, see your doctor who may prescribe hormonal therapy.
