Breast Pain Relief
For those of you who donât mind traditional medications, here is some news for breast pain relief during premenstrual times:
“Toremifene, a drug that blocks the effects of estrogen and is used to treat breast cancer, also relieves premenstrual breast pain and tenderness without causing any major side effects, according to the results of a study published the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
“Dr. Sinikka Oksa, of Satakunta Central Hospital, Pori, Finland, and colleagues conducted a study with 62 women between the ages of 25 and 45 years who had premenstrual breast pain during at least three previous menstrual cycles.
“The subjects were randomly assigned to receive 20 mg toremifene daily or placebo from day 15 of the menstrual cycle until menstruation for three consecutive cycles. Following a cycle in which no drugs were administered, the women were switched to the other treatment for three additional cycles. Fifty-six women completed the study.”
