A member asked:

Sore breasts or tender breasts are they the same or are they different but go together? when do they happen? pms? ovulation? ?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

The breasts: Can become sore and tender due to fluid retention (causes stretching). This can occur in premenstrual time frame, during period and when pregnant.
