Treatments and Symptoms

Breast Discomfort

What it feels like

Tenderness or soreness in one or both breasts

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.

According to the 200,000 respondents who have taken our Menopause Assessment:

‍

18%

report that breast discomfort is the symptom that has the most severe impact on their quality of life

‍

Up to 70%

of women experience breast pain at some point*
