I am experiencing pain in the sides of both of my breasts, near the armpits. My GP suggested that I start taking evening primrose. I have been taking one a day for a week, but I'm still in pain. Is there anything else that I can take? I'm finding it very uncomfortable and it is becoming difficult to wear a bra. Can you help?

Breast pain is a common symptom of the menopause. It can take a while for the EPO to help with this. In the meantime you may find a kelp supplement or Milk Thistle Complex helpful.

Do remember to drink plenty of plain water as dehydration can make menopausal symptoms worse.
