Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your wife's situation and problem.
By your history and description, in my opinion, she is having benign breast lump due to hormonal imbalance during menstruation.
Her breast lump and it's association with periods is suggestive of hormonal lump only.
So better to consult gynecologist and get done hormone levels to rule out hormonal imbalance.
Hormone therapy is very effective in such cases.
Also get done mammography to rule out other causes of breast lump like fibro adenoma or infection.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
