Causes of breast tenderness during menopause

We know that women are prone to some abnormal conditions in their bodies when they reach menopause, so we recommend that women take good care of their bodies when they enter menopause and avoid the occurrence of certain diseases. If there are any abnormal conditions in the body, they must seek treatment in time. For example, many female friends are prone to symptoms of breast pain during menopause, so what exactly causes this?

After menopause, the female body officially enters the aging stage, and changes in various parts of the body are apparent. Vaginal dryness and relaxation are inevitable changes after menopause. Breasts will also sag and their elasticity decreases at this time. If breast pain occurs after menopause, you often need to be vigilant, because postmenopause is a high-incidence age for breast cancer, but this is not always the case.

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 the 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.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, after cervical cancer. If breast cancer is detected early and treated, many women can survive for more than ten years. Why is breast cancer in women usually discovered in the late stages? This may be because women often do not pay attention to breast health and do not have regular checkups and self-examinations, or after women feel a lump in their breasts, they often delay seeking medical treatment for quite some time, resulting in poor treatment results.
