Breast pain and heaviness before periods are usually due to hormonal changes (premenstrual syndrome), not breast cancer. Back pain during menstruation is common from uterine contractions. Try heat therapy, light exercise, and consult a doctor if the pain is severe or persistent.

Breast Pain and Heaviness:

Back Pain During Menstrual Cycle:
- Commonly associated with menstrual cramps. Consider using over-the-counter pain relief like ibuprofen.
- Apply heat to the lower back and engage in light exercise or stretching.
General Advice:
- If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical evaluation to rule out other conditions.
