Pain Management Specialist Questions Premenstrual Syndrome

What causes pain in the breasts?

Just before my periods, my breasts get dry, itchy and extremely painful. They feel heavier than usual which just intensifies the pain. Is it just a symptom to my periods or something else? Please advice.

I suspect it is related to the hormonal changes that occur in conjunction with your cycle. The itchy may be from yeast and may respond to diflucan, an anti-fungal, but especially to a change in diet. Denying it the sugar it loves. A gynecologist may be a better resource for this question.
This may be a question better answered by Ob/Gyn. But I can only assume it has to do with the change in hormones during your menstruation cycle and how your breast tissue is responding to those changes.
