What causes chest pain before menstruation?

Chest pain before menstruation may be caused by increased estrogen, premenstrual syndrome, mastitis, etc.

1. Increased estrogen:

Before menstruation, women's hormone levels will change. The gradual increase in estrogen will stimulate the breast area, causing the milk ducts to expand and causing breast pain, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Usually no special treatment is required, and this situation will be relieved after menstruation.

2. Premenstrual syndrome:

Early menstrual syndrome is a common gynecological disease, and its cause is related to mental factors. Women will feel nervous before menstruation, accompanied by irritability, dizziness, headache, and chest pain. It is recommended to take methylcobalamin tablets, vitamin B6 tablets, vitamin B1 tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Mastitis:

The cause of the disease is related to factors such as bacterial infection and milk stasis. Under the influence of this factor, the breast will not be infected with inflammation. Before menstruation, the hormone level will be affected, stimulating the breast and causing breast pain. It is recommended to take drugs such as amoxicillin capsules, penicillin V potassium tablets, and cefuroxime axetil tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the common causes mentioned above, it may also be caused by breast hyperplasia, breast fibroids, breast cancer, etc. Targeted treatment plans need to be formulated according to the causes. If the symptoms are not relieved after treatment, you should seek medical attention in time.
