A member asked:

I had my normal period this week but my breasts still feel heavy and swollen... what could be causing this? is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: Could be normal or something going on with your hormones or any medications you are taking. It's important at your age to have an exam with an OB/GYN female physician. DO IT SOON to allay any fears you might have.
