THE CAUSE
The rush of hormones and all the water retention can make your breasts feel swollen. You’d think a sudden boost in cup size would be a good thing, but it’s so not—it can make your girls super-sensitive. Especially if you have to run the mile in gym class…
THE CURE
“Sometimes the tenderness is just from bloating,” Dr. Larissa Hirsch, a medical expert for TeensHealth.org, says, so keep on guzzling water. Ibuprofen can soothe the swelling, and upping your calcium can help here, too—so snack on low-fat cheese and yogurt.
