Dr. Ashu Syal answered

Normal: Breast engorgement and or sore are part of Progesterone effect which is released during second half of menstrual cycle--- 10-11 days prior to periods. It exerts this effect via its property of causing salt retention. Hence the feeling of bloatedness too. To avoid this, restrict salt intake.
