A member asked:

Is it normal for a female's breast to hurt a week before her period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Estrogen stimulation: At your age, pain before your periods is excess estrogen stimulation and is more common if your breasts are lacking iodine. Start taking kelp or sea weed capsules every day. Not only will it help your breast tenderness, it will help many organs in the rest of your body too.
