What is a common cause of breast pain in women going through menopause?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hormone imbalance: Estrogen dominance and hormonal fluctuations contribute to breast tenderness at any age, especially perimenopausal. High and low swings and surges stimulate glandular tissues. Certain foods, such as caffeine beverages and chocolate also increase breast tenderness.
