Why do my legs hurt before my period?

Leg pain as a sign of PMS

The premenstrual period can turn an optimist into a shrew or an apathetic creature. There are other unpleasant changes in well-being at this time. But usually they do not cause bewilderment, much less alarm. When your legs hurt before your period, it seems strange to many. It would seem that there should be no connection between these aspects of health. But the repetition of a symptom from cycle to cycle makes you want to understand what it means and how to get rid of the discomfort.

Why does teenagers experience discomfort?

Adolescence is the first period in a girl’s life characterized by great changes. First of all, this concerns hormones. But the substances have a huge impact on literally all departments and functions of the body. In girls, leg pain in the premenstrual period is due to several reasons:

  • Lengthening of the skeleton, including leg bones, muscle growth. Often changes occur so quickly that the vascular system cannot keep up with them. Discomfort in the legs is caused by insufficient blood supply and at the same time irritation of the nerve endings. This causes not only an aching sensation, but also a feeling of numbness. The pain can be quite severe, as after long and intense exercise.
  • Overexcitation of the nervous system. During adolescence, many girls become uncontrollable, flare up at the slightest provocation, and cry over a trifle. That is, their nervous reactions are sudden and sometimes violent. Irritation concerns not only the central nervous system, but also brings into a tense state those parts of the system that are located in other parts of the body. This can provoke headaches and generally wandering sensations throughout the body. The girl complains that her legs are cramping or aching or pulling. This can happen even at night.
  • Algodismenorrhea. This is a pathological condition in which the main pain point is located in the area of ​​the uterus. The stomach begins to ache, then the sensation takes over the back area and radiates lower, that is, to the hips. Of all the causes of premenstrual pain in the legs, this is the most painful and most difficult to eliminate. The sensations that are noticed in the limbs are only part of the syndrome, and not the most painful one.
  • This can be helped by providing the teenager with a calm, measured life, age-appropriate nutrition and physical activity.

    Pain in the limbs during childbearing years

    Sometimes you first learn about discomfort in the legs before menstruation at a fairly mature age, when you have a normal intimate life, perhaps with children. Why do adult women’s legs hurt before menstruation? After all, their hormonal system must work properly. And the reproductive organs (like all others) have reached maturity in development, and there should be no conflicts between different parts of the body, as happens in adolescents.

    But all of the above does not negate the variability of hormonal balance. This is its natural property and ensures monthly renewal of the uterine mucosa. And if so, then the phenomenon that adult women’s legs ache before menstruation has several different explanations:

    Leg problems during menopause

    Menopause is a period as changeable as adolescence. Only in it there is not growth, but extinction of many functions. This cannot but affect your well-being. One of the manifestations is heaviness in the legs, other kinds of discomfort, pain that increases before rare menstruation.

    The symptom can be caused by the same reasons as in women during the reproductive period. But new ones are being added:

  • Hormone surges. This is typical for premenopause. Sometimes you feel like your period is about to start. You feel a headache, breast engorgement, abdominal discomfort, that is, many signs of PMS. But you can wait a long time for menstruation in this state, but the symptoms do not disappear, and they are accompanied by painful sensations in the legs.
  • Diseases caused by aging of the body. The list here is huge: from gynecological pathologies to endocrine and oncological ones. Diabetes mellitus, thrombophlebitis, osteochondrosis, vertebral hernias, arthritis, neuropathy, even vitamin deficiency lead to twisting of the legs before menstruation, painful cramps, swelling, and heaviness may appear in them. This symptom, like the pathologies themselves, is more likely to overtake those women who, with age, switch to a passive lifestyle and do not monitor their diet. And also those who endure severe symptoms of menopause, just not to take hormones. Or he prescribes them to himself, choosing the wrong dose and the wrong drug.
  • We recommend reading the article about lower back pain during menstruation. From it you will learn about the causes of discomfort in the back before menstruation, lumbar colic during menstruation, possible diagnoses, and ways to get rid of discomfort.

    How to get rid of pain

    Naturally, pain in the lower extremities will go away as soon as its cause is eliminated. But this is if the disease is to blame. And menstruation cannot be eliminated without harm to health. And yet, when your legs go numb before your period, they hurt, swell, or cause other anxiety, there are several universal ways to alleviate the condition:

  • do contrasting foot baths;
  • always wear comfortable shoes;
  • strengthen leg muscles;
  • do self-massage.
  • The problem, no matter what age it appears, cannot be ignored. Perhaps this is the first reminder of the disease. Therefore, it is always worth finding out what causes leg pain in the days before menstruation, that is, go to the doctor if the symptom has become regular.

    Why do you have leg pain before menstruation?

    During menstruation, before the onset of menstruation, women of any age may experience discomfort in their legs. Such discomfort manifests itself under the influence of hormonal changes in the body. You can get rid of it only if you understand the mechanism of why your legs twist at this time and why they hurt.

    Legs hurt before menstruation due to hormonal changes

    Why do women have twisting legs during the period before and during menstruation? Pain at different ages

    The hormonal changes that occur in a woman’s body during menstruation can trigger the appearance of various negative sensations. For each age, the symptoms are individual, but most often at this time women note that their legs hurt.

    During adolescence, girls enter puberty and menstruation appears as a signal of the development of the organs of the reproductive system. During this period, adolescents experience high levels of hormones, bone cell growth, and muscle tissue growth. When menstruation arrives, the teenager’s body is not yet ready for the normal functioning of the reproductive system, so the blood supply is disrupted and failures occur in providing tissues with proper nerve connections. This provokes the appearance of pain in the pelvic area and lower extremities.

    If menstruation occurs in a girl aged 13 to 15 years, when the body enters its normal physiology, girls may experience:

  • Pain in the pectoral muscles and spine.
  • Pain may appear in the lower abdomen, which radiates to the sacrum or legs. Weak muscles of the lower extremities hurt and ache, and hyperhidrosis of the feet is also noted. At this time, the teenager may notice the appearance of numbness in the limbs.
  • After the teenage body has established a normal menstrual cycle and regular sex life has returned to normal, the pain may stop altogether or reduce its frequency of occurrence.
  • After the formation of the monthly cycle, pain in adolescents will go away on its own.

    Presence of pain syndrome during reproductive age

    The onset of menstruation makes a woman feel uncomfortable, as during this period skin rashes, swelling of the limbs, and pain of various localizations appear. Before the onset of menstruation, a woman notices heaviness in the chest area and compression in the pelvic organs. This process is normal, but in the presence of pathological changes in different body systems, it intensifies during menstruation.

    Such pain during menstruation can intensify in women who have undergone cesarean section or natural but complicated childbirth. Pain and heaviness in the limbs manifest themselves both at the beginning and at the end of menstruation. The reason for this is a violation of blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs and innervation of the tissues of the lower extremities. Sprains after childbirth in the sacral area increase pain in the legs during menstruation.

    The appearance of such symptoms during menstruation is greatly influenced by disruption of the blood supply to large and small vessels, which occurred as a result of adhesions, thrombosis or abdominal operations.

    Vascular thrombosis may cause leg pain

    Pain syndrome during premenopause

    A woman who enters the perimenopausal stage notices dramatic changes in her health. Menstruation during this period becomes irregular and rare. It is at this time that women feel their periods much more acutely than in their youth, and symptoms can intensify and change.

    With the onset of menopausal changes, the function of the reproductive system organs fades due to which the level of natural sex hormones decreases. These changes affect the nature of menstruation, provoking various changes in other body systems.

    Bone tissue undergoes significant changes during this period. With the onset of menstruation, the level of female sex hormones decreases, which leads to an additional decrease in elastin in cartilage tissues and the leaching of calcium from bone tissues. Therefore, during premenopause, immediately before the onset of menstruation, a woman feels pain in her legs, swelling and cramps more acutely.

    ?? Can nipples hurt before menstruation?

    Quite often, women have sore nipples before menstruation. This refers to one of the premenstrual syndromes (PMS) and, as a rule, is not a deviation. Almost every second representative of the fairer sex experiences certain effects associated with PMS, which include signs of a physiological or mental nature (swelling, dizziness, acne, changes in mood and a number of other signs). In 90% of cases, women experience discomfort in the nipples.

    Pain is often caused by hormonal factors. As menstruation approaches, hormonal levels change, which may be reflected in digestive disorders, increased or loss of appetite, rapid and causeless changes in mood, and pain, including pain in the lower abdomen and chest.

    Sometimes, when there is a delay in menstruation, some women's nipples hurt. This phenomenon is not necessarily associated with pathology; it may indicate a sign of pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to take a pregnancy test and consult a gynecologist.

    Usually, unpleasant sensations go away in the first days of menstruation, but if they occur frequently or continue for a long time, you should visit a doctor to rule out possible pathologies.

    There are a number of reasons why nipples hurt before menstruation. The main ones:

  • increased production of estrogen before critical days;
  • development of certain breast diseases (mastopathy, breast inflammation, etc.);
  • disorders in the endocrine or other body systems.
  • Estrogen, especially rapidly produced during ovulation, has a strong effect on the body as a whole, as well as on the breasts. Many women notice changes to their breasts at certain points and days during their period. It can become very elastic, increase in size, and the color of the nipples may change. This is the result of increased production of the female hormone, which peaks approximately two weeks before the start of your period, and is one possible explanation for why your nipple hurts. The production of the hormone is designed to prepare the breasts for childbirth and lactation. At the base of the female mammary glands is adipose tissue, which acts as a storage facility for nutrients during feeding.

    An increase in estrogen causes stimulation of the growth of adipose tissue, swelling, enlargement of the glands, and sore nipples. The intensity of manifestation of this process is interdependent with the woman’s age, physiological characteristics, state of health, and lifestyle.

    Sometimes there is no clear relationship between menstruation and nipple discomfort, which may be a sign of the presence or development of a specific breast disorder. Most often, this is mastopathy - a benign disease of the mammary gland, in which there is an overgrowth of its tissues, pain, and sometimes fluid is released from the nipples.

    With mastopathy, sore nipples are often associated with the menstrual cycle, with the processes of replacement of adipose tissue with connective tissue while simultaneously increasing the number of blood vessels in the breast and reducing the lumen between them. But with mastopathy, the swelling of the glands lasts longer than with normal swelling associated with ovulation, and the pain syndrome (mastodynia) is more pronounced. If discharge from the nipples (in particular with blood) appears before menstruation, an urgent consultation with a specialist mammologist is required.

    Other factors that cause pain in the nipples and breasts are usually associated with inflammatory processes, abnormalities in the endocrine and reproductive systems, and cancer. In any situation, you should not postpone your visit to the doctor.

    What other reasons could cause nipple pain? The answer to this question is closely related to the sensitivity of the female breast, the skin of which is very delicate, contains many nerve endings, plexuses and can individually react to any external stimuli, especially before the onset of menstruation, when the sensitivity of the glands increases even more.

    Such stimuli include individual reactions to:

    • lack of personal hygiene;
    • the effect of a bra (too narrow, synthetic, etc.), a towel made of coarse fiber;
    • exposure to sunlight, changes in climatic conditions;
    • sudden weight loss or weight gain;
    • stressful situations;
    • use of medications (eg, hormonal drugs);
    • use of cosmetics (creams, other body skin care products) or household chemicals (washing powders, bleaches).
    • In such situations, the solution to the problem may lie in eliminating the above factors (70% of all cases) or in an additional visit to a dermatologist who can recommend special breast moisturizing products (ointments, creams).

      Nipple pain before menstruation

      A woman may experience discomfort caused by premenstrual syndrome, which sometimes, however, can pass completely unnoticed and painlessly.

      Most often before menstruation, nipples hurt. The reasons why nipple pain occurs before menstruation have already been indicated above. It should be noted that there are no exact criteria for determining how many days before menstruation pain may appear: sometimes the syndrome appears a week before menstruation, sometimes a couple of days. But the determining factor is the disappearance of pain after the onset of menstruation, otherwise we may be talking about the occurrence of certain pathologies.

      Another question arises when the nipples hurt and there is a delay in menstruation. Here we can talk about signs of pregnancy. From the very beginning of pregnancy, a woman’s body and breasts begin active preparation for future childbirth and feeding: the mammary glands increase in size, swell, and the nipple becomes darker in color. Such changes are also associated with hormones, namely prolactin, the main hormone during lactation. Under its influence, breast tissue increases in volume faster than nervous tissue, tension in the fibers increases, and nipple sensitivity increases. Sometimes even the slightest touch to the breast can cause severe pain. In the first trimester, almost all women notice the appearance of pain in the chest area, which manifests itself to a greater or lesser extent.

      So the answer to the question: “Why do my nipples hurt but I don’t get my period?” can be very simple. Don't guess, it's better to just take a pregnancy test. If the test result is negative, and the onset of menstruation is delayed, you can, to be more sure, take a blood test for hCG and pay a visit to the gynecologist.

      Pain during menstruation

      They also sometimes appear during menstruation and a couple of days later. This may be an indicator of the individual course of PMS, and not a symptom of pathology.

      In certain cases, nipples hurt after menstruation. If the woman is in normal physical condition, there is no discomfort in the chest area. Their presence is a consequence of:

    • irregular sexual relations, due to which an excess amount of the hormone estrogen accumulates in the body, which can cause pain or serious health problems;
    • endocrine disorders that can increase hormone production;
    • hormonal disorder.
    • When your nipples hurt during and after menstruation, you cannot exclude the possibility of developing serious diseases (primarily fibrocystic mastopathy, etc.).

      What could be the consequences?

      Manifestations of any discomfort in the chest area after the end of menstruation should be immediately consulted with a specialist, since this may indicate many problems associated with health status and be a dangerous symptom that can lead to a number of undesirable consequences.

      As a rule, the presence of pain is a sign of hormonal imbalance in the body, which can cause functional disturbances in the genitourinary, reproductive, and endocrine systems, and cause the development of inflammatory, infectious, or even oncological diseases. Therefore, it is so important to immediately visit a doctor, carry out a series of diagnostic measures and procedures, and identify the cause of the pain. In no case should you be afraid or postpone this visit, because nipples can often hurt due to hypersensitivity of the nipples themselves or the skin of the breast.

      Only a specialist will be able to determine whether the failure is a consequence of a violation of the regularity of sexual activity or a sign of the development of pathology, establish the correct diagnosis and prescribe treatment if necessary. Only a doctor can decide whether we are talking about minor temporary deviations associated with premenstrual syndrome, or about problems such as the development of mastopathy, cysts, and oncology.

      A timely diagnosis and the necessary therapy can today even cope with diseases such as cancer, without leading to more serious health problems and, as a consequence, costly long-term treatment.

      It happens that not only the nipples hurt, but women also notice traces of discharge of different colors or consistency on the bra. The reason for this phenomenon is the high level of estrogen and progesterone, which are responsible for preparing the woman’s body for childbirth and feeding and influencing the formation of fluid in the ducts of the breast glands. When the fertilized egg reaches maturity, the fluid gradually leaves into the vascular bed, but this process may slow down as a result of breast swelling in the middle of menstruation, and the excess leaks out. Such liquid, as a rule, does not have a distinct odor and is cloudy and pale in color.

      When the discharge occurs constantly, with pain in the chest, coloration or the presence of bloody particles in its composition, it is necessary to consult a mammologist to exclude any suspicion of serious health problems.

      If the pain that occurs is associated exclusively with PMS and disappears with the onset of menstruation, then such manifestations do not require treatment. They are determined by individual physiological characteristics.

      You can reduce or completely eliminate pain using the following techniques:

    • Exposure to heat. Taking warm baths or showers, as well as applying a heating pad (but not hot!) to the chest before bedtime, has a beneficial effect on relieving or eliminating pain in the mammary glands. Taking warm baths with the addition of sea salt, herbal infusions, and aromatic oils is particularly effective.
    • Correct diet. Recommended:
    • giving up alcohol and nicotine;
    • reducing the amount of coffee, tea, spicy and fatty foods consumed;
    • preference for natural and healthy foods, vegetables, fruits, juices;
    • soothing, anti-inflammatory herbal teas, decoctions;
    • the use of vitamin complexes and supplements containing high levels of magnesium.
    • Healthy lifestyle. During your period, it is important to pay special attention to your health:
      • maintain personal hygiene and daily routine, devoting enough time to sleep;
      • avoid stressful situations;
      • dress according to the weather (cold increases pain in the mammary glands, but overheating can cause colds and inflammation of the skin due to increased sweating).
        1. Eliminating the causes of skin irritation due to external factors:
        2. give preference to high-quality underwear made from natural fabrics, avoid synthetics;
        3. careful selection of household chemicals for washing, repeated rinsing of laundry after washing;
        4. selection of appropriate personal hygiene products, taking into account the individual characteristics of the skin and the composition of the products;
        5. use of medicated creams for nipples and breasts only on the recommendation of a doctor.
        6. But there are cases when the pain becomes so severe that medical intervention is required. It should be noted right away: painkillers cannot be used constantly, otherwise the body will get used to them and the medicine will lose its effectiveness. Drugs will help reduce pain: no-spa (and its analogues), analgin, nurofen.

          If a woman doubts that her cycle and breast condition, including pain, are interconnected, then she should definitely seek the advice of a specialist. Self-medication is excluded. Visiting a doctor is especially important to correctly identify the cause of the disease and timely prescribe the necessary treatment, which will allow you to maintain health for many years and avoid the occurrence of serious diseases.

          You should always remember that taking care of your health is never unnecessary.

          Why do the ovaries hurt before menstruation?

          The menstrual cycle is a natural part of the life of a woman of reproductive age. Nature itself laid down this mechanism, so it is senseless to resist it. However, normality in this case does not mean painlessness. Girls have long been accustomed to pain syndromes during menstruation, but if everything was limited only to the beginning of the cycle. Unfortunately, the pain occurs even before menstruation.

          It is not uncommon for the ovary to hurt before menstruation. Of course, this raises some concerns and health questions. Such disturbing painful sensations can arise due to pathology or be a normal reaction of the body. There are situations that even a gynecologist after examination cannot determine the cause of these pains.

          Causes of pain

          It is believed that every second woman of reproductive age periodically feels discomfort in the area of ​​the gonads before menstruation. Often, such sensations are interpreted by many as a sign of the imminent onset of menstruation.

          To understand why the left ovary hurts before menstruation (or the right one, this is not so important), you need to understand the processes occurring in these glands.

          After the egg matures, it travels to the fallopian tube. The freed up space in the ovary is used by the so-called corpus luteum, which produces progesterone. Due to hormonal imbalance, the corpus luteum may not fully form.

          Progesterone deficiency leads to endometrial detachment, and this in itself is painful. The pain radiates to the appendages, which is what the woman feels. The pain indicates that the endometrium is already exfoliating, which means that it will soon begin to come out with blood (menstruation).

          If the right ovary pulls before menstruation, it means that it was responsible for ovulation in the current cycle. Accordingly, if another appendage was responsible for ovulation, then the left ovary will pull before menstruation. However, pain should be felt alternately in both appendages.

          Since the cause of the disease process is a natural process, there is nothing to fear. However, we cannot always be sure what exactly caused the pain. Perhaps there is a pathology.

          Pain in the gonad area is also one of the symptoms of ovulatory syndrome.

          How to understand that it is the ovaries that hurt

          It is very easy to guess what is causing this or that pain, but how do you know if the ovaries are related to the problem? It is possible that other organs are causing the problem. First of all, you need to know that the ovaries before menstruation can only hurt in the lower abdomen.

          Localization of pain in other places is possible due to problems with the ovaries, but they themselves radiate only to the lower abdomen, to the right or left. However, not all pain in the lower abdomen occurs due to the fault of the gonads.

          Is it normal or not - how to understand

          The following situation is considered normal:

        7. the ovary hurts about a week before menstruation;
        8. the pain is regular and not acute;
        9. over time, the girl forgets about the problem until the first days of the cycle;
        10. the pain may continue with the onset of menstruation, but it is not so noticeable against the background of other symptoms of menstruation;
        11. Sometimes the pain can be very strong, but it shouldn’t be that way. It is advisable to consult a gynecologist, especially if there was more than one attack;
        12. the results of clinical examinations do not show any pathology.
        13. In all other cases, painful sensations require observation by a doctor, because they are not considered normal. Only taking tests together with an examination of the body will help determine why the ovary colitis before menstruation, if your situation does not fit into the framework of the norm described above.

          There are times when, shortly before the start of menstruation, not only the ovaries hurt, but also minor bleeding appears. This is not a reason to panic, because such manifestations of the normal functioning of the female body are allowed. If the blood continues to flow, and even profusely, then you need to visit a doctor.

          Pain in the ovary before menstruation may have causes that are far from the natural functioning of the body. Pain towards the end of the cycle is not considered normal if it is accompanied by warning symptoms.

          1. Increased body temperature.
          2. Fever.
          3. Nausea with dizziness.
          4. Chills.
          5. Aching bones all over the body.
          6. Other alarming symptoms characteristic of various pathologies.
          7. Pathology as a cause of pain

            It is worth considering other reasons why the ovaries hurt before menstruation, in addition to natural female processes. Various pathologies of the female body can negatively affect the functioning of the appendages. Often we are talking about problems with the genitourinary system. Sometimes everything resolves itself, more often treatment with various drugs is required, but sometimes the problem cannot be eliminated without surgery.

            Let's look at the most common pathologies that lead to pain in the ovaries.

          8. Inflammation of the gonads (adnexitis). Minor pain should always be present, but its exacerbation occurs during menstruation and a little earlier.
          9. Abnormal location of the fertilized egg. There is a possible risk of ectopic pregnancy.
          10. Inflammatory processes in the uterus itself.
          11. If the right ovary hurts before menstruation, then apoplexy can be suspected. It rarely appears in the left ovary. It is characterized by acute pain with the appearance of signs of a hematoma on the abdomen on the side where the pain comes from.
          12. Torsion is accompanied by severe and pronounced pain. Most often occurs in adolescents and athletes.
          13. The tumor is benign or malignant. This situation is characterized by severe attacks of pain.
          14. Oophoritis is an inflammatory process in which cramping attacks occur, less often aching pain.
          15. When the ovary just aches or tugs before menstruation, this may be a sign of excessive nervous stress and stressful situations. With pathologies, the pain is rarely nagging, usually sharp or cramping.

            Causes of chest pain before menstruation

            The occurrence of discomfort and painful discomfort in the chest before the onset of menstruation is most often normal. According to statistics, this problem is familiar to about 40% of the fairer sex of reproductive age. You should understand why breasts hurt before menstruation and what doctors call the most common causes of this condition.

            Why is this happening?

            The feeling of pain in the mammary glands a few days before menstruation is called mastodynia in medical terms. This manifestation is not pathological, as it occurs due to the proliferation of glandular tissue.

            In the second phase of the monthly cycle, the egg, ready for fertilization, is released from the follicle. This happens on average on the 12th day. During this period, rapid production of estrogen begins, which causes chest pain before menstruation.

            The tissue of a woman’s mammary glands has a structure of lobules, which in turn consists of adipose and connective tissue and has a milk duct. Estrogen is located precisely in the fatty space; accordingly, with an increase in hormone production, the quantitative content of adipose tissue also increases. The mammary glands also prepare the body for the expected production of milk. The synthesis of the hormones progesterone and prolactin leads to slight swelling and engorgement of the breast, and its sensitivity significantly increases. This is why chest pain occurs before menstruation.

            Breast pain before period

            Chest pain in a woman can be expressed in different ways. Their intensity is influenced by a number of factors, including:

          16. woman's age;
          17. general health;
          18. the lifestyle a woman leads.
          19. And if your breasts hurt a lot before menstruation, then normally the discomfort disappears in the first days of menstruation.

            If it increases and swells

            Enlargement and swelling of the mammary glands before menstruation is normal. If the pain is unbearable, or a woman discovers a lump in her breast before her period, she needs to go to the doctor.

            In some cases, the appearance of pain may indicate problems in the reproductive system, for example, the ovaries, or a serious hormonal disorder.

            If your breasts become engorged before your period, but this condition is common for a girl or woman and does not cause any particular discomfort, then there is no reason to worry. But if pain persists even after the start of menstruation, you should immediately consult a doctor.

            A woman should pay attention to chest pain in combination with menstrual irregularities. If the process does not proceed as usual, this is also a reason to go for a medical consultation.

            How to reduce pain?

            How many days your breasts hurt before your period may depend on various factors.

            To eliminate or at least reduce discomfort, it is recommended to follow these tips:

          20. follow a diet in the second half of the cycle, giving up salty, fatty and large amounts of liquid;
          21. wear loose clothing that does not tighten or squeeze the mammary glands.
          22. If a woman understands why her breasts hurt a week before her period and wants to get rid of the discomfort, she can take herbal remedies that have soothing and anti-inflammatory effects.

            If your chest constantly hurts 2 weeks before your period or a week before, you should first prevent hypothermia, and also try to avoid stressful situations.

            When asking why breasts hurt a lot before menstruation, a woman should be aware of symptoms that are normal.

            The following symptoms should not cause concern:

          23. engorgement and swelling of the mammary glands;
          24. increasing their sensitivity;
          25. engorgement of nipples;
          26. pain when wearing tight underwear;
          27. pain when pressing on the glands from the side;
          28. increase in breast volume.
          29. Important: these symptoms may also indicate pregnancy. If such manifestations are combined with a delay in menstruation, it is necessary to take a pregnancy test.

            But chest pain before menstruation can be the cause of serious illnesses, for example:

          30. malignant or benign formations;
          31. infectious diseases of the mammary glands;
          32. mastitis;
          33. mastopathy;
          34. traumatic effect on the chest.
          35. The following symptoms may indicate the presence of problems and the need to immediately consult a doctor:

          36. discharge from the nipples of the mammary gland;
          37. pain combined with spasms;
          38. pain in one breast;
          39. change in breast skin color;
          40. the appearance of palpable lumps in the mammary gland.
          41. If your breasts hurt very badly before menstruation, mastopathy should be ruled out. The diagnosis is made only by a gynecologist or mammologist after an examination.

            If there are characteristic symptoms, a woman is prescribed:

          42. Ultrasound of the mammary glands;
          43. mammography;
          44. radiometric examination;
          45. cytological examination in the presence of discharge from the breast.
          46. Mastopathy is a benign breast disease that is fibrocystic in nature. The pain is combined with the presence of lumps and nodules in the mammary gland, which cause pain when palpated.

            Sudden cessation of pain

            If a woman usually had breast pain before menstruation, but at one point there was no pain, this leads to anxiety.

            Possible reasons for the lack of pain are as follows:

          47. Conception that has occurred . Most often, pregnancy causes an increase in breast sensitivity, but in some cases in women the pain disappears completely. The reason is a change in the hormonal balance in the body.
          48. Active sex life. Regular sex can lead to the complete disappearance of chest pain before menstruation.
          49. Taking certain medications. The doctor's prescription of hormonal medications causes changes in hormonal levels, and the mammary glands may not hurt.
          50. The onset of menopause. After 40 years, a woman begins the period of premenopause, when the body loses the ability to reproduce, that is, conceive and bear a child. In most cases, menstrual flow becomes scanty, and pain in the mammary glands disappears approximately three years before the onset of menopause.
          51. If there was pain, but no menstruation

            No less exciting is the situation when your chest hurts, your period is about to come, but has not started.

          52. Puberty in adolescents. At this age, a girl’s menstrual cycle has not yet been established, and therefore an uneven release of hormones may occur in the body.
          53. Conception. Often pain and swelling in the breasts in the absence of menstruation are a consequence of pregnancy.
          54. Ectopic pregnancy. A condition that poses a threat to a woman's life.
          55. Mastopathy. It occurs due to problems with hormones in the body. This is a benign formation that often develops in women after 30 years of age.
          56. Which specialist should I contact?

            Problems with the mammary glands are a reason to consult a mammologist. To identify the source of chest pain, your doctor will conduct a diagnosis.

            Along with taking tests and performing an ultrasound, the doctor may prescribe a tumor marker test, which will help identify the risk of cancer.

            What are the causes of heavy periods? Read the article about the differences between heavy menstruation and bleeding, symptoms of menorrhagia, ways to reduce discharge, seeing a doctor, diagnosis and treatment, as well as the effectiveness of traditional medicine.

            How to induce menstruation if there is a delay and a negative test? Details here.

            There is no specific treatment for chest pain before or during menstruation.

            If pain is not a pathology, the following remedies will help alleviate the condition:

          57. non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
          58. Taking magnesium before the onset of menstruation can help avoid severe pain;
          59. Hormonal birth control pills can prevent painful breast swelling, but some may cause more pain as a side effect.

      You should not self-medicate; medications have their own indications and contraindications. Therefore, it is better to consult a doctor before taking it.

      Chest pain can be normal or indicate pathological processes in the body. To avoid the development of diseases, it is important to conduct a self-examination, and if you suspect pathology, immediately go to the doctor. It is recommended to visit a gynecologist and mammologist at least once a year.

      My leg hurts during my period.

      Maybe it's a cyst? I heard that a cyst can cause pain in the leg.

      Maybe a cyst. Or a pinched nerve. Go to the doctor.

      Author: All my life, when I have my period, my legs hurt, as does my stomach.. the whole lower part of the body.. I thought it happened to everyone only when I was 20 years old, I found out that it’s not like that for others.. I just didn’t even know it before, I thought it happened to everyone after all.. no no cysts, nothing... there may be varicose veins. You don’t have them?

      I have a hernia in the lumbar region, and just in the last year, a week before my period, it starts to pull in my lower back, and then the pain goes to my right thigh, after my period everything goes away

      You have a lot of water in your body. This happened to me, then 4-5 days before my period I started drinking little water, very little. It’s all gone, and don’t drink during your period either. It’s better to do sports, there will be no pain at all

      It looks like a cyst. Go to the doctor, ask for an ultrasound.

      A 12-year-old girl during her period had either “gastritis”, “appendicular colic”, “hemarthrosis”, or “acute dry rot”. You don’t need sick leave for study; you were easily given a certificate for a week, until finally the employer became indignant about sick leave. Cultures from the peritoneum revealed sooooo much that they were difficult to cover with four broad-spectrum antibiotics. A couple of defibrillations when collecting material for culture, then at home we had to “polish” with the other three antibiotics, but in loading doses. Then swimming in the sea under the cover of antibiotics, until, finally, it ended with amenorrhea and pregnancy. The cervix did not turn blue at the beginning of pregnancy , although according to many books, cervical cyanosis is one of the markers of B

      Author, I have the same thing, both legs hurt and so does the whole lower part of my body, and my stomach doesn’t hurt at all during menstruation, but I take hormones. I have endometriosis and pelvic varicose veins. Check with doctors with a mandatory pelvic ultrasound and Doppler of the vessels of the abdominal cavity and lower extremities.

      I was in so much pain. I had endometriosis with cysts.

      Run to the doctor for an examination, not a woman..

      In short, this is the problem. A girl has pain in her left leg and lower abdomen during her period. Only on the first day. What can I do to make the pain at least easier?

      My right leg always ache during my period

      you need to take Russian balm: mix ghee + olive oil in half, melt, and take a spoonful spread on bread three times a day, store in the refrigerator, everything is gone!

      Maybe varicose veins are making themselves felt.

      But for me, a few days before my period, it’s been like this for several years, if not my whole life, where my feet and legs ache like hell for just one night, then after a couple of days they come as guests. here it is today..ugh

      After the second birth, when the “guests” have very bad leg pain, the stomach does not hurt. Tell me what it could be

      Recently, during my period (on the first day), my entire right leg began to hurt. Even walking sometimes hurts. and it hurts with exactly the same pain as in the lower abdomen: it pulls, twists. Before, sometimes my leg would hurt a little, but now it has turned into a complete nightmare. why is that? This is fine?

      Guest | 04/21/2015, 23:41:50 No, of course, it’s not normal, these are back problems, maybe hernias, protrusions, or simply chondrosis, I also have a week before the CD, my legs drag, my heels and toes hurt, sometimes they feel hot and go numb, My lower back hurts, I have a hernia in my lower back - that’s the whole story, massage, needles, NSAIDs, ointments used to help - now even this doesn’t help, apparently the hernia has completely pressed down the nerve root, and before the CD the effect intensifies. Apparently only surgical treatment.

      Hello, such a problem, my period passed as usual, but after another week there was a brown smear, it was strongly pulling on my leg, lower back and stomach, what could it be? The ultrasound didn’t show anything.

      Hello! Such a problem. During menstruation, the stomach hurts very much and radiates to the legs and

      back! What to do

      There is a terrible pulling in the lower abdomen, pain in the thigh and dizziness, nausea, and sometimes loss of consciousness. Pain to the point of tears.

      I came here in search of an answer - why my legs hurt during menstrual periods.

      It turns out I'm not alone)))

      These pains in my legs appeared after 4 births. Before marriage, only my ovaries hurt during menstruation.

      And today the veins affected by varicose veins are swollen - they hurt like hell.

      Is there really nothing that can be done? Some kind of hormone therapy or something. By the way, it’s similar to pain during pregnancy.

      This recipe is for me from the same grandmother, we met her at the sanatorium and I told her my problem, and you know, this Russian Balm helped me too, we very simply mix everything 1 to 1 to 1 - honey, vegetable oil and butter (ghee can be you can have the usual one), mix it in a jar, eat it with bread 3 rubles a day, girls, it cures all our ailments inside and out, and it’s very tasty!)) in general, now it’s always in the refrigerator, I eat it myself and I spread it on my son with a bun, with porridge , he also stopped getting sick. And before, it was almost like snot and sick leave for three weeks. And now he’s healthy, this balm really helped us!

      Maria, try the Russian balm (recipe above) it really helps and plus it improves your health on all fronts! and delicious! I also advise giving up meat, switching to ovolacto, then eating eggs and cheese, it helped me!

      I have a similar situation. I’m currently 12 years old, my periods started just recently, and this is the first time I’ve had pain. Last night my stomach hurt sharply (due to physical activity) and today my right leg hurt. Can you tell me what it is?

      Yes, I also heard this old recipe, it helped me, I probably took it for about six months or even a year, but it helped a lot, now sometimes I take it as a preventive measure, but I had pain in my leg, and it started to pull in my lower back and the whole leg, sometimes the right one, then the left one. a week before your period and until it passes! I checked... there are no cysts! The doctors recommended some kind of suppositories, all to no avail, but this old method (2 oils) only helped in the end!

      and yes, I want to note that there was no olive oil, I made it with regular oleyna, that is, sunflower, and it helped a lot, so do it, the recipe is very good! and also, along the way, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of protein, especially meat and fish, I ate eggs, milk, various very healthy porridges, mushroom soups, egg soups, baked goods are better made from coarse flour, in the morning porridge and a sandwich with a mixture, and in the evening dinner and a sandwich with a mixture.

      The same. I'm also 12 years old

      When should you eat it? During the K.Days themselves? How long does it take to eat it?

      pain before menstruation

      Is pain before menstruation a consequence of hormonal imbalance or is it due to psychosocial reasons? There is very convincing evidence that pain before menstruation is associated with hormones, since during the week preceding menstruation, the level of female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, changes (excess estrogen and lack of progesterone in the second phase of the menstrual cycle), and during menopause earlier monthly repeated symptoms disappear - hormonal theory .

      The impetus for the appearance of pain before menstruation can be abortion, tubal ligation, unsuccessful hormonal contraception, infectious diseases, pathological pregnancy and childbirth. All these events that happen in the life of almost every woman can lead to the same “breakdown” - a decrease in the level of natural progesterone, which is produced by the ovaries in the second half of the menstrual cycle.
