A member asked:

Would it be unusual for your breast to be very sensitive a couple of days before your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes: Progesterone causes water retention. Increased water in the breast tissue stretches it and causes pain.

Dr Rocamboli agreed
