How best to treat sore breasts? I am due on but may be pregnant are the symptoms so alike?
Answers: Many women suffer from sore breasts pre-period. The medical permanent status for this is cyclic mastalgia. It is one of the situations where a herbal remedy has be shown to be of some benefit in some studies, but not all.
Evening primrose, ( epogram ) or more correctly its helpful ingredient Gamolenic acid ( Sometimes Gamma-Linolenic,) has be used with some success, though the dose does call for to be quite high. You requirement at least 90mgs of GLA twice daily.
It should not be taken contained by pregnancy, so you would need to confirm that you are not pregnant first..
To be honest I don't find anything works, but some cycles, my breasts are more tender than others, sometimes I can't bare to even be aware of material rubbing against them. Some people swear by Evening primrose oil, I'm not sure of the effectiveness or it, or if there is any proven study to support it's use. If you think you may be pregnant, than do a test, as tender breasts are also a sign of pregnancy
