Breast Pain in Menopause
05/28/2025

As women enter into perimenopause and menopause, they may experience breast tenderness. Dr.Robyn Kutka explains the connection between having lower progesterone levels and breast pain, as well as how to help alleviate this issue with a progesterone cream.

Topical progesterone can help relieve breast pain (mastalgia) in perimenopause and menopause by balancing the effects of estrogen, which often becomes dominant during this phase. Estrogen stimulates breast tissue growth and fluid retention, which can lead to tenderness, swelling, and pain. Progesterone acts as a natural counterbalance—reducing estrogen-driven proliferation, supporting lymphatic drainage, and calming inflammation in breast tissue. When applied topically, progesterone can concentrate locally in fat-rich areas like the breasts, potentially offering targeted symptom relief with fewer systemic effects.
