Why You Have Breast Pain and How To Fix It

by | Last updated: Oct 31, 2024 | Menopause, Women's Health | 0 comments

Let’s talk about the estradiol side effect of breast pain. 

Estrogen stimulates mammary tissue. If you have excess amounts of estrogen, particularly estradiol, you will have increased stimulation of your mammary tissue, which can cause pain.

Pain can be sharp, shooting, tender to the touch, or uncomfortable heaviness. Making sure that you have an adequate amount of progesterone to counterbalance your estrogen is important.

How To Fix Breast Pain

Menopausal women, you need 100 milligrams of progesterone per one milligram of estradiol. And pre-menopausal women who have estrogen dominance and breast pain can utilize progesterone in the second half of their cycle. I recommend Gen-Pro™ transdermal progesterone cream, 100 milligrams twice a day. 

Diindolylmethane Or DIM is also very effective at reducing breast pain. DIM is the active ingredient in cruciferous vegetables that helps to change the way you metabolize your estradiol so that less is converted into inflammatory types of estrone, and more becomes non-inflammatory estrone. Taking DIM when you have breast pain, 100 – 200 milligrams a day, can be very helpful to reduce the discomfort. Vitamin E has also been shown to help with breast pain, 400 international units per day.
