Sore breasts is this normal after a period?

Posted , 7 users are following.

hi

i am 51 and think i am peri menopausal as have so many symptoms such as anxiety, anger, moods, sweats at night etc.

Anyway my periods are still on time but after my last period i had sore breasts for 2 weeks after, my period this time started on the 1st June and again from yesterday both are sore.

i have read lots and all seem to say this usually happens before & during a period, mine is after? there are no lumps !

should i be worrying ?

    Thank you all so much for your replies.

    I have never been so anxious, its awful not being able to control your feelings & emotions and all yesterday I kept looking on the internet but couldnt find anything about sore boobs after a period, having these emotions actually takes over your life, thankfully I have just discovered this forum and it is so nice to be reassured.

    I just wish my periods would stop being normal then I know I am on a home run lol

    Thank you again

    Yes, mine used to be sore before my period and now they are not sore at all before my period but they are sore after. My cycles are also closer together which is considered early perimenopause from what I understand. Late perimenopause is when you start skipping periods or they are further apart.
