A member asked:
My breast started hurting a couple days after my period, and gets worse as this week goes by?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common problem: Many women have cyclical breast pain although more commonly before their period. Generally this is thought to be caused by fibrocystic breasts and is not a concern for cancer. Besides using tylenol, (acetaminophen) naproxen or ibuprofen to control symptoms, there are a few other preventative measures you may try- decrease your caffeine, decrease the fat in your diet and take a magnesium supplement.
