During most of my periods, my breasts hurt and get huge. how can i avoid this?

Not much: This is a huge problem for a lot of women. Hormones are driving this change. Sometimes weight loss can help (if you are, in fact, overweight). Sometimes taking birth control pills can lessen degree of changes during period. You can also try menstrual suppression... Skipping placebo week of pills and going straight to new pack, again, if you are on birth control pills. Ibuprofen can help too.
