Breast tenderness and swelling before menstruation are common concerns for many women, but a new study sheds light on these symptoms and their connection to ovulation. The study, conducted over the course of a year, focused on healthy women with regular ovulatory cycles and normal ovulation patterns.

The research, published in the journal PLOS One, was led by Dr. Mary Wood, an internal medicine resident at the University of British Columbia. The study aimed to determine whether breast tenderness and swelling before menstruation are part of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or are expected and normal occurrences.

According to Dr. Azita Goshtasebi, a family physician and co-author of the study, previous research has not provided clarity on the relationship between breast symptoms and ovulation. The study tracked the experiences of 53 healthy women, recording daily breast symptoms and confirming ovulation using a validated temperature analysis method.

Surprisingly, the study found that women experienced more breast tenderness and swelling when they had normal ovulation compared to cycles with ovulatory disturbances or anovulation. Dr. Jerilynn C. Prior, the principal investigator, emphasized the importance of understanding what constitutes normal menstrual cycle experiences to identify women with recurrent ovulatory disturbances.

The study included data from 53 women, ages 20-41, with an average of 13 cycles each. Results showed that breast tenderness and swelling were common before menstruation, with a median score of 1.4 for tenderness and 4 for changes in breast size. The majority of cycles (71%) were determined to be normally ovulatory, while 26% had short luteal phase lengths and 3% were anovulatory.

The findings highlight the importance of recognizing and understanding the variations in breast symptoms throughout the menstrual cycle. By identifying patterns in breast tenderness and swelling, healthcare providers can better assess and monitor women’s reproductive health. Further research is needed to explore the long-term health implications of ovulatory disturbances within normal menstrual cycles.

For more information, the study “Breast tenderness and swelling experiences related to menstrual cycles and ovulation in healthy premenopausal women” can be found in the journal PLOS One. The study was conducted by researchers from the University of British Columbia.
