Is it normal for one breast to be more sore when squeezed than the other during period?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Breast tenderness: Many women complain of breast tenderness during their menstrual cycle. Birth control is very good at regulating the hormonal fluctuations to help with this. I am not sure we can say if it is normal for one to hurt more than the other specifically during the act of squeezing.
