What Causes Tenderness In Breasts?

I have had quite a bit of tenderness in my breasts the past couple months and i am contributing it to going through menapause but i can not seem to find anything that relates the two directly. I have not noticed anything unusual other than maybe they are getting somewhat larger --- which i am also contributing to menapause. I do have my yearly check up in a few weeks and will also discuss with my Doctor --- but just been a bit uneasy about it. Thanks

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. It is often noticed that there is enhanced breast size during perimenopause and soon after and this can be attributed in part to the hormone imbalance that is associated with the condition and in part to the excess accumulation of fat, which again is a consequence of menopause. If there is no mass, discharge or any other discomfort, there is no need to worry. You can go along with your regular follow up. Please concentrate on your calorie intake and get regular exercise. Hope this helps.
