Breast pain

Breast health is something that people are very concerned about nowadays. There are already many breast diseases, which can have a great impact on our lives. The death of the young singer Yao Beina due to the recurrence of breast cancer really makes us very sad. While we are sad, should we reflect on why breast diseases occur? This is something we need to prevent in time, and we should pay attention to breast pain.

What causes breast pain?

1. Breast pain caused by reasons other than breasts:

In fact, it is diseases in other parts of the body that manifest as pain in the breast area, such as pneumonia and costochondritis.

2. Cyclic breast pain:

It is related to the menstrual cycle and reflects the cyclical changes in hormones in the body. This pain is largely normal and mainly occurs in premenopausal women, especially before the age of 35. Most cases can be relieved by themselves.

3. Non-cyclical breast pain:

Compared with cyclical breast pain, non-cyclical breast pain is more worthy of attention. But most non-cyclical breast pain is also benign. Its characteristics include intermittent onset, variable pain intensity, mostly unilateral occurrence, and sharp nature.

Is breast pain a disease?

Although this is an era of high incidence of breast cancer, don't panic. 90% of breast pain is not a sign of disease!

1. Insufficient breast development, forming nodules

Many women experience breast pain, which is related to their hormone levels. Insufficient breast development, medically known as incomplete involution, often causes breast pain.

The process of changes in hormone levels caused by women's menstruation is like the ebb and flow of the tide. After the tide recedes, mud and sand will be left behind. These "mud and sand" that are not left behind when the tide recedes are equivalent to the epithelial cells that are constantly shed and renewed in the breast. They remain in the mammary ducts and cause incomplete degeneration.

Many women will feel many nodules in their breasts. Whether they are lump-shaped, sand-shaped, nodular-shaped, strip-shaped, or plaque-shaped, they are all normal. Before pregnancy, the mammary ducts are blocked by accumulated epithelial cells, forming hard nodules. However, after pregnancy, due to the influence of estrogen and progesterone, the breasts are fully developed and the nodules disappear without treatment.

2. Third degree pain requires medical attention as soon as possible

According to experts, breast pain is divided into three degrees. First degree is pain felt when touched with the hand, second degree is pain felt when moving, and third degree is pain at rest, which means pain felt even when lying in bed. First-degree pain does not require treatment, second-degree pain can be solved by taking medicine, and third-degree pain is also called severe pain, so you can go to the doctor.

What causes breast pain? I hope everyone can understand more about the above introduction. Breast pain cannot be ignored. If you have breast pain in your daily life, you must pay attention to it. You should go to the hospital regularly for relevant examinations to prevent the occurrence of breast diseases.
