In this episode of Menopause Rescue, Dr. Polly Watson tackles the all-too-common challenge of breast pain during menopause and perimenopause. She delves into the culprits behind discomfort, such as poorly fitting bras, weight fluctuations, caffeine consumption, and hormonal shifts. Dr. Watson provides practical solutions for alleviating breast pain, such as moderating caffeine and alcohol consumption, and incorporating phytoestrogens like flax into the diet. She also highlights the importance of consulting a healthcare provider for any concerning changes in breast health. Tune in for expert insights and practical advice to help you find relief and restore comfort.

 

Quotes

  • “Many women are wearing bra sizes that are not correct for them, and that’s a huge reason why they have breast pain.”
  • “Caffeine makes breast pain worse for a lot of women, and it can take months for that caffeine effect to resolve.”
  • “A plant-based estrogen or phytoestrogen is weaker than your body's own estrogen and can help balance either too much or too little estrogen.”
