Question in Regards to Womens Health

First and foremost, I would change OB/GYNs! You say yours is not the best at listening to you about your body - that is not right! Both my daughter and I use Dr. Lynn Nguyen at Woman's Health Center in Fountain Valley. She is fantastic ###-###-####). I would be concerned, especially if you have a history of breast tenderness. Maybe the pill isn't the best choice for birth control for you. I had really great luck with the cervical cap! Good luck. L.

You need to find a new OB/GYN. One that will take you seriously.

No caffiene of any kind and Vit. E, 1000i.u. per day might help. My mother had the same thing and it stopped forever with what I sugested. Also soda was bad and she learned to drink water a lot.

I would think cystic fibrosis caused by what you mentioned above.I had this happen 2 me twice the first time I had an infection in my breast the second time well who knows I have alot of issues with caffeine and chocolate and how they effect my body.Anyway what you need is a breast sonogram not a mamogram I hope you get the relif that you need because the pain is real.Have you out grown you bras?Do you need new ones?I would call your primary dr or find another OB

I think under your "So what happened" you just answered your own question as to why your PMS is worse than normal. For me, stress directly affects my hormones. My PMS gets way worse and all of my other symptoms do too. Don't just drink a glass of wine in the hot tub. You have all of these problems that are emotional type - an angry ex, a sick kid, wedding plans, work. The best way to get your body well is to balance your life better, like slow down and simplify, and do something good for both your body and your mind, like Yoga, or hikes in the mountains. You will notice if you can learn to relax and have these things not get to you, your PMS and hormone problems will be resolved or at least greatly diminished.

I agree that you need a breast sonogram. You know the difference between PMS breast soreness and breast pain. All breast issues need to be taken seriously. Do you have an internist? If not find one (after you take care of the sonogram appt). An internist will more likely spend more time on your other issues too. Some specialists only want to deal with their specialty...not general health. You may need an anti-depressent to take the edge off your stressors. That does not mean you are weak, it means you have a lot on your plate and need some help managing.

Hope you find the answer you are looking for.

Get a new OB. If she doesn't really listen to you, get a new OB and get a second opinion. I don't know what's causing the tenderness, but I know if you are annoyed with your doctor you should get a new one because there are good ones that listen out there. I had a similiar problem with my child's peditrician when we first moved here. I left every visit annoyed and after a year I switched and have been soooo happy!

I would definitely call the OB/GYN before the end of the day.

In my personal experiences, which led to a diagnosis of a non-breast cancer, anytime there's anything abnormal with the breasts, they take it really seriously.

None of us are medically trained enough to tell you to worry or not, so please call your doctor and let them guide you to find out what the source of your pain is.

Good luck! Hope you're better soon.
