Abstract
Background: Cyclic Mastalgia affects women who are menstruating in their 20s, 30s, or 40s. This pain starts about a week before commencing menstruation. During this period, the breasts become sore, tender, and swollen, though symptoms improve later in the cycle or it may be so severe that the patients cannot wear tight fitting clothes or they becomes irritable. The discomfort usually occurs outside and upper portions of both breasts, and it may even affect underarms. Cyclical Mastalgia is a common condition associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. Mastalgia is common ailment that affects about 70% of women and has negative impact on their quality of life. Many scientists believe that the cause of cyclic mastalgia lies in a mix of hormonal activity and something in the breast that reacts to it. Mastalgia is a term used to describe women's discomfort with their breasts, although doctors usually neglect it.
Methods: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 30 women will be selected for the study. A questionnaire of breast pain based on the McGill Pain Questionnaire, and a Cardiff chart, will all be employed as outcome measures. The individuals' pre-intervention scores will be collected, and they will be given an exercise routine to follow for four weeks, three times per week. The outcomes of the intervention will be measured afterwards. Our protocol will cover weeks of treatment. Reqular assessment will be carried out.
Discussion: This study was done to find out effectivness of exercise program in obese womens with breast mastalgia and tenderness.
