Tenderness in breast before period
Hi Dr. I get regular periods. I do have some tenders in my breast almost before all periods. But this time I have taken an off from my office for three months and I am home and I am noticing that my periods are due in three days and I am getting tenderness on right side upper breast Corner. The randomness is only present when I touch over it or else there is no pain or problem. I am very scared. I have anxiety issues and depression is this normal. This is giving me health OCD. Please reply if this is a normal thing to pain on one side more like both, my breast are tender, but one side is More. Please help and reply. Respected doctor. I have no other issues. No lump no discharge. No fever normal regular periods.

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Its normal to have tender breast before periods and it usually subsides by the time periods ends. Stop Caffine- Tea/ Coffee/ cola intake. And start evion and Primosa 500 once daily for a month.
In case pain doesnot subsides with periods, get yourself examined by Gynaec or Gen surgeon.

Hello, it is quite normal to get pain in the breast before and sometimes during the menstrual cycle. It happens due to dominance of progesterone over estrogen. Nothing to worry,if you don't feel that you have a lump or hard mass.
Next Steps
nothing to do if your cycles are regular and frequency of the flow is normal.
Health Tips
you can give gentle massage with hot pack for relief. feel free to consult if you have any further queries or need more clarification.

Your one-sided breast tenderness before periods is normal due to hormonal changes. Since you have regular cycles, no lumps, discharge, or fever, there’s nothing serious.
What to Do?
✔ Apply a warm compress
✔ Avoid caffeine & salty foods
✔ Wear a supportive bra
✔ Relax—anxiety can worsen symptoms
If pain persists after periods, consult a doctor, but you're safe!
