Why does breast pain occur when pressed?

Why does breast pain occur when pressed? I don’t know if you female friends have ever felt pain when pressing your breasts. If you have this phenomenon, it is recommended that you first have a breast health check to see what causes the pain when pressing your breasts. Clinically, there are two main causes of breast pain when pressing. One is breast hyperplasia and the other is breast tumor. If the breast pain is caused by the former, it is generally not harmful, but if it is caused by the latter, the problem is more serious.

The most common breast pain when pressed is the pain caused by breast hyperplasia, which is generally distending pain, stabbing pain or tenderness. It often worsens before menstruation and eases after menstruation, and sometimes also involves the armpit or shoulder and back on the same side.

Breast tumors with breast pain as the initial symptom are rare. From a clinical perspective, intermittent, sharp, stabbing or dull pain originating from within the breast, which does not involve any area outside the breast, may be an early sign of malignancy.

90% of breast tumors are caused by protracted breast hyperplasia. Professionals warn that breast pain should not be taken lightly. Regulating and improving breast hyperplasia is an effective measure to prevent malignant changes.

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.

Now that you know why your breasts hurt when you press them, I would like to remind all female friends to pay attention to their breast health and prevent the occurrence of breast diseases. You should go to the hospital for regular breast examinations, and it is best to have children at the childbearing age. This can greatly reduce the incidence of breast diseases. I hope the above content can help women reduce the risk of breast diseases.
