Sore tender breasts while on HRT
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi all. I’m pre-menapausable &48.
Been on hrt for just under 2years... & just recently been experiencing really sore tender breasts. They swell in size to the point of being uncomfortable. Doctor has had me to the breast clinic & had a Mammagram ... which was signed as Hormonal!
I have a coil fitted and hrt patch!
Has anybody experienced this & if so did you come off one ie coil or hrt?
So I’m desperate for help or advice off ladies that have gone through this!

Did this happen to you before you hit the menopause usually just before your period would have been due? If so it's down to the 'normalising' of your hormone levels due to the hrt. DONT STOP any of your hrt until your Dr has run full hormone level blood test and they tell you to stop and which one needs stopping - otherwise you risk 'im balancing your hormone levels which could be more unpleasant! Try high strength evening primrose oil for the breast tenderness it does help but like all these things they do take time. Hope this is of help to you and that you get sorted out and feel better soon! XXX
