A member asked:

Pain at the outer side of my breast since a few days ago, is it normal for being on period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes, that can happen: Due to increased fluid in the breasts with stretching and pain. As the fluid diureses the pain should resolve.

Dr Pappas and 2 doctors agreed
