For many women, breast pain resolves on its own over time and you may not need any treatment. However, while there is little research to show the effectiveness of these self-care remedies, some may be worth a try: • Use hot or cold compresses on your breasts. • Wear a firm support bra, fitted by a professional if possible. • Wear a sports bra during exercise, especially when your breasts may be more sensitive. • Experiment with relaxation therapy, which can help control the high levels of anxiety associated with severe breast pain. • Limit or eliminate caffeine, a dietary change some women find helpful, although medical studies of caffeine’s effect on breast pain and other premenstrual symptoms have been inconclusive. • Follow a low-fat diet and eat more complex carbohydrates, a strategy that’s helped some women with breast pain in observational studies. • Consider using an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) _ but ask your doctor how much to take, as long-term use may increase your risk of liver problems and other side effects. • Keep a journal, noting when you experience breast pain and other symptoms, to determine if your pain is cyclic or noncyclic. Alternative medicine Vitamins and dietary supplements may lessen breast pain symptoms and severity for some women.
