Some women find that wearing a supportive bra at all times, even when they are in bed, helps by reducing breast movement. However, other women choose not to wear a bra at all or choose to wear a loose fitting one. You could also try holding a hot water bottle to your breasts or having a hot bath or shower. Alternatively, you might find that having a cold shower or holding an ice-pack over your breasts is more effective. Reducing your caffeine intake or cutting it out altogether can help to relieve breast pain.
Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, cola and chocolate.
Cutting down on the amount of salt and fat in your diet may also help. The normal dose of Vitamin B6 is up to 200 mgm per day. Higher doses are not recommended. Check with your doctor or pharmacist about the appropriate dose. Other women have found that Evening Primrose Oil, taken in tablet or liquid form, can help to relieve pain or premenstrual symptoms.
