Why it happens
Breast tissue is sensitive to hormones. Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can lead to breast discomfort, primarily during perimenopause. Breast discomfort usually resolves once the transition to menopause is complete.
If you’re experiencing new breast discomfort, it’s important to see your doctor for an exam.
