Breast pain around or just after your periods is very common and is usually due to hormonal changes, especially when there is no lump, no swelling, and no redness. This type of pain is called cyclical mastalgia, and it is not a sign of breast cancer. Many women experience breast tenderness or sharp pain from day 1 to day 7 of the menstrual cycle as estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate.
Next Steps
For now, you can try the following:
• Warm compress on the painful area for 10–15 minutes
• Evening Primrose Oil capsules once daily for 1–3 months (helps hormonal breast pain)
• Vitamin E 400 mg once daily for 2–3 weeks
• Wear a well-fitted, supportive bra
• Avoid caffeine and high-salt foods during and after periods
• For stronger pain, you may take Paracetamol 500 mg or Ibuprofen 200 mg after food if needed
This pain usually settles on its own within a few days.
Health Tips
Seek a physical examination by a surgeon if you notice:
persistent pain lasting beyond 2–3 weeks
a new lump
nipple discharge
skin changes or redness
Based on what you described most probably this looks like simple hormonal breast pain.
