Sore breasts after the period seems like it shouldn’t happen at all. Shouldn’t they be sore before or during the period instead?  Yet some women have sore breasts 2 weeks after their period.  Why? Is it normal for breast to hurt after the period?

The answer could be that it’s a sign they are ovulating. Or they are pregnant. In either of these cases, the breasts may hurt because they feel heavier than usual. The soreness may feel like there’s a sensation of burning, stabbing, or a dull ache. It could be that these symptoms are felt underneath the arm as well as in the breasts. 

This breast tenderness after the period could also be related to hormone imbalances, such as higher levels of progesterone than what’s normal. Progesterone brings extra circulation to the breast, and this can contribute to the heaviness, which causes soreness and breast pain after the period. In this case, the solution would be herbs that balance the hormones. 

Sometimes though, a woman’s body is sensitive to the foods she eats. For example, consuming foods high in caffeine could be enough to make changes in the breast cells and result in breast pain after the menstrual cycle. The excess caffeine can also contribute to fibrocystic breast disease. In this case you may feel a few breast lumps and start worrying that it’s cancer. However, cutting out the caffeine will usually reverse the changes in the breasts. The body is amazing in how it can recover and get healthy.

When your breast hurts after your period, it can be a symptom of post menopausal syndrome. This condition includes other symptoms such as lower back pain, pain in the lower part of the abdomen, headaches, mood swings, cramps, and nausea. 

Now that you know the answer to the question of why do my breasts hurt after my period, it’s time to look at the solutions:

The reason why it helps is because of the B vitamins it contains. These are instrumental in eliminating breast tenderness and breast swelling.
