I am a 29 year old female who develop breast pain just before the beginning of my menstrual cycle. Is this normal?

In some women, the breast tenderness pain is cyclical. This type of cyclical pain is usually observed in younger women less than 35 and affects close to 40 percent of individuals. It is believed that hormonal changes that occur during the menstrual cycle are responsible for the breast swelling and pain. The fluid retention that occurs just prior to the menstrual cycle often causes the breast to feel swollen and painful. As soon as the menstrual cycle is over, the pain immediately disappears. So far, the use of water pills and reducing sodium in the diet has not been shown to relieve this pain or breast swelling. Most women, however, do get relief from a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory dry like Motrin.
