I have been diagnosed by the doctor as being post-menopausal. I haven't had a period since last August, however, over the last couple of days my breasts have been tender, suggesting that a period is due. Is this normal?

You are usually considered through the menopause after not having had a period for 2 years.

During that time and very often for a while afterwards, your hormones are still fluctuating and can cause a range of symptoms.

Sore/tender breasts are very common and can often be eased with a kelp supplement and a liver support such as Milk Thistle.

Just make sure that you are drinking plenty of water as dehydration can make symptoms worse!

However, it is also a good idea to mention any breast changes to your doctor as well.
