How are your ‘BRAD PITTS’?


🪷 HOW ARE YOUR ‘BRAD PITTS’ TODAY?


Quick question, how are your boobs today?!

Too much?


Did I go too far?


Sorry, as you know, I always say it like it is (no filters here ladies!)


Let’s face it, our breasts aren’t what they were in our 20’s, they’re heading further south now, require acme strength bras to hold them in place, seem to have grown to epic proportions and now attempt to hide under our arm pits when ever we lay down!

But that’s ok!


I’m going to start by saying that if you notice any changes in your breasts or skin appearance, find any lumps, or experience severe pain, please do visit your GP!


Many of my clients have been on HRT for some time, many of whom have had to make tweaks and changes to their doses to find what works for them!

But many of them have and still  experience sore, tender breasts, burning and hot (and not in the sexy way!) or super sensitive nipples and discomfort.


So here’s a few suggestions that may alleviate your breast pain and help you feel more comfortable!


❗️SUPPLEMENTS

Vitamin B & E and Omega-3 fatty acids, can help reduce inflammation in the breast tissue.

Collagen can also help as it will improve the elasticity of the skin, so it doesn’t become so stretched when your breasts swell

Evening primrose oil can help in some cases but does contain Omega-6 fatty acids which can cause inflammation in some people, so be sure to monitor yourself if you decide to try this.


❗️ TOPICAL TREATMENT

Aloe Vera and Coconut oil massaged on to the area can help as it moisturises the skin, increasing it elasticity

Hot/cold compressed can also help alleviate pain and soreness

Some women use Vaseline to stop their nipples from rubbing against the inside of their bra if their nipples are sensitive.

Some women have found that acupuncture can also help reduce breast pain


❗️SUPPORT

Be sure to wear a supportive bra made of natural material to keep your breasts well supported.



❗️NUTRITION

Reduce your caffeine/nicotine intake and ensure you drink plenty of water and eat a pH balanced diet to ensure your acid/alkaline levels are balanced.


Breast pain through the menopause should reduce over time as you pass through your menopause and if you are still having a monthly cycle, you may find that the discomfort comes and goes in line with your cycle.


If you are concerned, or the pain becomes severe, please speak to your healthcare provider or GP or get in touch and I can help and advise you
