@menopause_care: Breast tenderness is a common symptom during perimenopause and it’s often linked to fluctuating levels of oestrogen and progesterone. Some women also notice this tenderness when they first start Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), particularly during the first three months as the body adjusts to the new hormone levels. The good news? There are ways to manage tender breasts: 💡 Try applying your oestrogen gel to your thighs rather than your upper arms, this can help reduce exposure to breast tissue. 💨 Products like ibuprofen gel or Biofreeze (especially if kept in the fridge) can offer localised, soothing relief. If you are experiencing ongoing discomfort, please speak to your doctor. Menopause symptoms are manageable and you are not alone in navigating them.
