A member asked:

What are the reason of getting breast tenderness before 15 days of mensturation cycle..?how we can take preventive measures to decrease tenderness..,?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Birth control: Possibly a birth control pill could regulate the hormones necessary for menstruation but also responsible for fluid retention and breast tenderness. A visit with your family doctor can provide you with options and more answers. Good luck
