Just before your period is the time of the highest level of estrogen, which is the primary female hormone. Estrogen regulates the female reproductive system. Breasts become fuller under the influence of estrogen. It is a way of preparing the body for a possible pregnancy to allow the female breasts to produce milk. Progesterone is also a female hormone necessary for pregnancy. If the female becomes pregnant then progesterone becomes elevated and estrogen lessensn. Progestrone means pro-for and gesterone-gestation is a word for pregnancy.



Right before your period, hormones are at a high in your body. (When they drop, that's when you get your period.) During this high and when the hormone level drop, it causes breast tissue in many girls to become very sensitive. When the tissue and muscle is more sensitive, little things you normally wouldn't notice (like bumping into someone, for example) can hurt a lot more.

Why do your breasts hurt before a period?

Breasts can become tender before menstruation as a result of hormonal imbalance, higher levels of estrogen can cause the ducts of the breasts to swell and become tender. This is a common symptom of menstruation but shouldn't be considered normal, it can be reduced by regulating hormones or if it continues you should talk to your doctor about the problem.
