For the past 4 weeks both my breasts have been really swollen and painful, but my last period was 18 months ago. Do you think this is related to my hormones?

It takes about 2 years for the hormones to balance out and during that time you can have a variety of symptoms, either together or one after another.

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

However, it is important to get any breast changes checked out by your doctor.
