I have been having breast pain recently. Is this a disease?

Breast pain is a symptom that many women will experience, especially before menstruation, many women will experience breast pain. Some women are very worried about this phenomenon and are afraid that breast pain is caused by a disease. Today, the editor will tell you, what is the cause of breast pain? I hope that the majority of female friends can take a closer look.

1. If breast pain is paroxysmal, and often begins before menstruation or worsens before menstruation, and is relieved or disappears after menstruation, and the pain is distending or stabbing, and sometimes involves the armpit or shoulder and back on the same side, and there is mild to moderate tenderness locally, then it is considered to be a proliferative lesion.

About 2/3 of women experience breast pain or discomfort before menstruation. The entire breast becomes swollen, hard, and tender, and the original granular or nodular feeling becomes more obvious. This is a physiological phenomenon.

2. Sometimes, there is no obvious pain in the breast, but only pain in one armpit or shoulder and back, which may be a malignant lesion. These subtle changes should not be easily ignored.

If there is severe, persistent, burning pain in the breast that progressively worsens and is difficult to relieve on its own, and is accompanied by ulceration and necrosis of the local tumor or ulceration of the surgical wound and surrounding skin, it is breast pain in the late stage of malignant disease.

3. If the nipples are severely painful, broken or cracked during breastfeeding, it may be caused by the baby sucking and biting the nipples, resulting in nipple fissures.

If the breast pain is only mild dull pain or aching pain, the onset has no obvious regularity, and is only sporadic or paroxysmal, and some are persistent, it is often ignored because the pain is not obvious. It should be noted that such breast pain may also be a signal of early breast malignant disease and should be given sufficient attention.

If breast pain does not occur frequently, then there is no need to worry about it. Breast pain only occurs before menstruation, which is caused by physiological phenomena. However, if breast pain occurs frequently, female friends must pay attention to it, because it is likely caused by some breast diseases.
