Hello, I am a generally he althy person, I am 47 years old and still have regular periods. The cycle lasts 28 days. However, I suffer from pain in both breasts during the entire cycle, the pain only passes for the period of menstruation and 2-3 days after it. The remaining three weeks are in constant pain. The touch is practically unbearable. My hormone levels are normal. The situation has been going on for a year, please help. Dorota
Good morning! In the case of mastalgia (breast pain), after performing imaging examinations: ultrasound of the nipples + mammography, relief may be obtained by: - good underwear fitting
- avoiding excess coffee and spicy spices
- evening primrose oil - extracts from chasteberry (Castagnus)
Treatment of breast pain is also possible with the use of synthetic drugs (bromryptin, danazol, tamoxifen), but it is burdened with a much higher number of side effects. Regards
