Causes of pain under right breast

For women, especially white-collar women, who exercise less and have less exposure to sunlight, most white-collar women wear bras tightly during the "eight hours" work throughout the year for the sake of body beauty and work needs, and rarely have the opportunity to "loosen" their breasts. In addition, the sense of competition at work and the tense mentality all lead to emotional imbalance, and these factors are all related to breast disease. There are also some white-collar women who give up family for the sake of their careers and miss the opportunity to have children. It is common knowledge that the patency of the mammary glands is related to fertility and breastfeeding. So, what is the pain under the right breast?

1. Generally speaking, if there is sudden, persistent, and severe pain in the breast accompanied by obvious tenderness, it is considered to be various acute infectious diseases in the breast. If there is local throbbing pain, it may be that the local area has become suppurative.

2. If the breast pain is paroxysmal, and often starts before menstruation or worsens before menstruation, and can be relieved or disappear after menstruation, 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.

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.

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

5. 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 mass or ulceration of the surgical wound and surrounding skin, it is breast pain in the late stage of malignant disease. At this time, because the symptoms and signs of other malignant diseases are already very clear, it is not difficult to find the cause of the pain.

Pain under the right breast may also be caused by breast hyperplasia, which is a benign disease rather than cancer. It is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body, which causes proliferation of the terminal milk ducts and alveoli in the breast tissue and the surrounding fibrous tissue, accompanied by lymphocyte infiltration.

Breast tumors with breast pain as the initial symptom are rare. According to the data, intermittent, sharp, stabbing or dull pain originating from the breast, which does not involve any part of the body outside the breast, may be an early sign of malignancy. 90% of breast tumors are caused by protracted breast hyperplasia, so we would like to warn everyone: Do not take pain under the right breast lightly. Regulating and improving breast hyperplasia is an effective measure to prevent malignant changes.
