Question:-I am 42 and I have sore and tender breasts. My periods have become lighter but are regular. Could I be peri -menopausal

Reply:- You could be, but check for any other symptoms too.  Breast discomfort  pre, during or after the menopause is partly due to fluctuating hormones, women experience abnormal amounts of sensitivity. Always check and know what is normal for you, on a regular basis, after a period. Seek medical advice & mammogram  if you have any doubts
