Dr. Chen Zhe
Chest pain during menstruation is often closely related to hormonal fluctuations in the body. Hormonal changes can cause congestion and swelling of breast blood vessels, lactiferous ducts, and acini, leading to a sensation of breast fullness and tenderness—typically a normal physiological phenomenon. Additionally, certain pathological conditions—such as fibrocystic breast changes or mastitis—may also exacerbate breast pain during menstruation; this discomfort usually subsides gradually after menstruation ends.
