A member asked:

My breasts hurt for about 10 days before my period. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It's not uncommon to have breast tenderness and slight swelling 7-10 days before your period. This occurs as your hormone levels fluctuate. Decreasing caffeine intake and medicines like Ibuprofen or aleve (naproxen) can help
