A member asked:

My breast are sore when i have my period is this okay? i'm 16. what dose it mean with they are tender/sore? thank you.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Unfortunately, this is very normal. Cyclic breast pain is very common and is due to the fluctuations of your hormone levels produced by the ovaries. Sometimes a NSAID like ibuprofen can help, 600-800mg
