What is the pain under the right breast?

The biggest difference between women and men is the breast. The breast is the largest physiological organ of women. In recent years, there are more and more female diseases, such as breast cancer. Many celebrities have died of breast cancer and various breast diseases, which have taken their lives. So what is the reason for the pain in the lower body? We must pay enough attention to it.

First of all, cervical spondylosis can cause persistent breast pain, which is caused by degeneration of the cervical vertebrae and involvement of the cervical nerve roots. This pain is often chronic and unilateral. The degree of pain is often related to the location of the neck and is directly proportional to the degree of involvement of the cervical nerve roots. In addition to breast pain, there is also tenderness in the pectoralis major muscle, as well as pain and discomfort in the neck, pillow, shoulders, and arms. In this case, there is often nothing abnormal about the breast itself.

Secondly, female breast pain is often caused by physiological changes at different times, which is medically called "physiological breast pain". The following are common types:

1. Breast pain during adolescence: The earliest breast pain in girls usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13. First, the nipple swells, and a pea-sized lump appears in the breast tissue under the nipple, which is slightly swollen and painful. After menarche, it will disappear on its own as the breasts mature.

2. Breast pain during pregnancy: Some women experience breast pain around 40 days after pregnancy due to the placental villi secreting large amounts of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, which causes breast hyperplasia and breast enlargement. In severe cases, breast pain may last throughout the pregnancy.

3. Postpartum breast pain: 3 to 7 days after delivery, the breasts may often become swollen, hard, and painful. This is mainly caused by breast lymph retention, venous congestion, interstitial edema and obstructed mammary ducts.

4. Breast pain after abortion: This is due to the sudden interruption of pregnancy, which causes a sharp drop in hormone levels in the body, causing the newly developed mammary glands to suddenly stop growing, resulting in breast lumps and breast pain.

5. Breast pain after sexual intercourse: This is related to the physiological changes in the breasts during sexual intercourse. People with sexual indifference or disharmonious sex life cannot achieve sexual satisfaction, and the congestion and swelling of the breasts are not easy to subside, or they subside incompletely. Continuous congestion can cause breast pain.

Women are a relatively weak group and should attract social attention. In the ancient tradition of male superiority and female inferiority, this phenomenon no longer exists in the current social conditions, but women's diseases still need to be given enough attention. The above are the causes of breast pain, and I hope it can be helpful to female friends.
