Premenstrual chest pain is caused by hormones. Swelling of the breasts during menstruation; Due to the changing amount of hormones, the fluids in the body collect in the breasts and therefore breast enlargement and pain are observed.
Premenstrual chest pains disappear on the 2nd or 3rd day of the menstrual period. Premenstrual breast pain is usually relieved when the patient stops taking hormonal contraceptives but can return if the patient takes excessive amounts of medications. Premenstrual breast pain is not harmful if symptoms of breast cancer is present or is not treated.
Premenstrual breast pain can occur during:
Premenstrual period
The menstrual cycle begins with the release of the menstrual hormones, the production of the first of the hormones. The release of the menstrual hormones from the ovaries into the blood is called menstruation.
At any time during the menstrual cycle, some of the hormones are removed by the uterine lining and released into the blood as prostaglandin (PGE2 and PGE7). These hormones stimulate the production of more or less fluid and cause a change in the color and feel of the breast.
The change in the breast color and feel and the changes in the fluid in the breasts can occur before the menstrual cycle reaches the beginning of its third month. This may be due to changes in the color and feeling of the breast or due to the presence of breast cancer.
There is no indication that Premenstrual breasts are harmful. The use of contraceptives can help women avoid having this painful, embarrassing time of year. Also, when taking PGE2 and PGE7, the use of regular estrogen can help to avoid the changes of the breast color and feel.
Premenstrual chest pain occurs most commonly when the patient starts taking birth control pills such as the contraceptive pill and the non-hormonal methods (such as birth control injections, IUDs and implants) such as the patch, ring, vaginal ring and diaphragm.
Premenstrual chest pain is usually relieved by stopping the use of contraceptive pills and the use of birth control pills. If the patient has irregular or non-regular bleeding, medication must be used for regular breast pain or else the patient may experience the same pain during subsequent periods, especially on the days when they are taking pills. If the pain increases after stopping contraceptives, discontinuation of the contraceptive pills and/or the use of birth control pills may cause the same or more serious symptoms.
