Why do my breasts hurt during ovulation or before my period?
It's a fact: the mammary glands in the breast are very sensitive to hormonal fluctuations. If your breasts hurt during ovulation or before your period, you're not alone!

Breast pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Ovulation (especially during its peak, 24 to 36 hours before ovulation) and menstruation are two specific moments of the menstrual cycle that are characterized by important hormonal changes. It is the variations of these hormones (estrogen and progesterone) that affect different parts of the body, such as the breasts and nipples. Painful breasts, heaviness in the breasts, very sensitive nipples, swollen breasts... These symptoms are not felt in the same way by all women: some feel real pain that handicaps them on a daily basis, others are simply embarrassed. As for the luckiest ones, they do not suffer from any PMS.
Treating PMS breast pain
This pain - called mastodynia - is mostly benign and disappears as soon as the period appears or ends. But there is no question of minimizing the pain! When the pain is incapacitating, it is possible to reduce it thanks to a hormonal treatment based on progesterone, the aim of which is to limit the effects of estrogen. This is the contraceptive pill that is taken orally 3 weeks out of 4 or a progesterone gel to be applied locally.
Soothe PMS breast pain
You can also soothe pain and reduce discomfort by massaging lightly on the chest and bust with a cream with a light and comforting texture, like Tits Party. Rich in argan oil and shea butter, it provides immediate relief by relieving tension, soothing pain and repairing nipples. You can also use it as a mask (without rinsing!) by applying a thicker layer and letting it penetrate to maximize the soothing effect. A little tip: place Tits Party in the refrigerator for a cold effect that will relieve heaviness. Don't hesitate to change your bra: it's not uncommon to go up one or two bra sizes because of swollen breasts. Or you can also decide not to wear anything at all!
