Breast Pain Due to Estrogen Replacement? Posted: 01-16-07 02:10am
I have been on a low dose estrogen &
progestin combination patch for about four
months. I have had breast pain for a
couple of months now. It concerns me for
obvious reasons but I would like to know
if this is common. My breasts feel
knotted, large and very tender...Almost
like they did when I was nursing (years
ago) and they were engorged. I read
something about estrogen replacement
possibly causing breast tenderness. How
could this be due to estrogen-dominance if
I am taking estrogen because I was low in
the first place? I have not had a period
for a year and 10 months and had all of
the typical and dreadful symptoms but the
patch has helped tremendously. I never
had tenderness like this even during my
pms years. Any advise would be
appreciated.
