Chest pain before menstruation is not ovulation.

While chest pain isn't the only symptom of ovulation, it can be one of them. Before menstruation, a woman's hormonal levels change, causing discomfort in her breasts, including pain and swelling. Symptoms usually appear 3-5 days before menstruation, but may occur earlier or later.

However, it’s important to stress that chest pain is not the only sign of ovulation. Other symptoms, such as irregular menstruation, changes in appetite, mood swings, etc., may also appear before menstruation. Therefore, if a woman experiences chest pain before menstruation, she should combine other symptoms and daily habits to determine the ovulation period.

In addition to chest pain, women may also experience other discomforts before menstruation, such as headaches, nausea, breast pain, etc. If women feel unwell before menstruation, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time so that health problems can be detected and dealt with promptly.
