3. Breast Tenderness
Breast tenderness may be felt during PMS, but also throughout the entire month. The breasts many not be just swollen but also tender and painful. These symptoms of perimenopause are – again – related to changes in estrogen levels.
Tips for coping with breast tenderness:
- Wear comfortable bras that offer plenty of support.
- Gently massage the breasts from the center of the chest out to the armpits to improve circulation in the area.
- An ice pack may help, but be sure to wrap it in a towel and keep it on your breasts for no more than 10 minutes.
