A member asked:

Why are my breasts sore and tender?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast tenderness: Breasts can normally be tender prior to the period especially if mammary dysplasia(fibrocystic breasts) are present. In the latter case, decrease your chocolate an caffeine use the week prior to your period.
