Causes of breast pain during menopause

Menopausal women, due to ovarian hypofunction, hyperpituitarism, secrete excessive gonadotropin, causing autonomic nervous system dysfunction, resulting in a series of symptoms of varying degrees. Under normal circumstances, if a woman has periodic breast pain before menopause, it will change with the changes in menstruation. After a period of menopause, the periodic breast pain and other symptoms should disappear due to the lack of estrogen stimulation.

If breast pain occurs again after menopause, it usually occurs in the following situations:

(1) Breast pain during the period after menopause: This type of pain is generally nothing to be afraid of. This is because during the menopause before menopause, the secretion of endogenous estrogen decreases rapidly, and the breast tissue cannot adapt to this change. Some corresponding changes may occur, such as local pain, nodules or glandular thickening. This reaction may stop and disappear after menopause, or it may persist for a considerable period of time after menopause. There is no need to be nervous at this time. Generally, you only need to follow the doctor's advice for regular check-ups. If necessary, taking some medication to treat women's menopausal syndrome can relieve pain.

(2) Breast pain reappears several years after menopause: As estrogen secretion decreases, there is generally no breast pain. However, breast pain that occurs at this time must not be taken lightly. Since elderly women after menopause have become a high-risk group for breast cancer, special attention should be paid. Go to the hospital as soon as possible to check and confirm whether it is an early symptom of breast cancer so that it can be discovered and treated early, which will improve the prognosis.

Everyone should understand the causes and situations of menopausal breast pain. In such a situation, female friends should not be anxious. Further examination and treatment are still needed. Don't let breast diseases trouble your life. Early detection and treatment of the disease is the most important thing.
