Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 28-year-old, and my periods have been quite irregular past six months. I have breast pain during my menstruation. The pain is severe during the first two days of menstrual cycle. Is it normal to have that kind of pain? Sometimes the pain starts one week before menstrual cycle. I am worried. Is it cancer? What should I do? I wanted to know if this is not serious. Please help.
Thanks.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
It is normal to get some pain during or just before menstruation. You can self-examine the breast to see if there is any lump, discoloration, or abnormality. Sometimes it might be because of a small lump which can be easily managed with medicines or minor procedures, so there is no need to worry much. Periods fluctuate by one week, and it is quite normal. If it is more than that, then I should know about your menstrual cycle in detail so I can guide you properly. If the pain worsens, please consult your nearby surgeon or gynecologist so they can examine and help you properly.
I hope the information will help.
Thank you.
