Breast Soreness or Swelling
Decoding Perimenopausal
What does it feel like?
Tender, swollen, or lumpy breasts, sometimes painful to the touch, often in the days leading up to menstruation.
Fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone affect breast tissue, increasing sensitivity.
Why does this happen during perimenopause?
How can you manage or sooth this symptom?
Wear a supportive bra, limit caffeine and salty foods, and apply warm or cold compresses as needed. Evening primrose oil or magnesium supplements may also help alleviate symptoms.
