Pain when pressing on left side of breast

At present, people's requirements for health are gradually increasing, and more and more women are paying special attention to breast health and convenience. As an important part of the female body, breasts can not only improve the quality of sex life, but also play an irreplaceable role in raising the next generation. However, there are many types of breast diseases, especially middle-aged women are more likely to have breast diseases, which makes people very worried. The most common ones are pain when pressing the breast lightly or lumps inside the breast. Therefore, it is very important to do some regular breast examinations or self-examinations. Below, we will briefly introduce what to do when you feel pain when pressing the side of the breast.

1. There are many aspects to consider when the breast is painful when pressed lightly. If you feel a lump inside the breast and the lump moves easily, it may be breast fibroids or breast hyperplasia. If you think the situation is not serious, you can relieve the pain through physical methods such as regulating your mood and applying heat to the breast.

2. The pain when pressing the breast lightly has not only physiological reasons but also pathological reasons. Therefore, it should be treated effectively according to the specific situation. If it is only temporary breast pain during the menstrual cycle, the pain will subside with the end of the menstrual period. If it is pathological pain, lasts for a long time, and the pain is not severe, apply hot compress to the breast to see if it can get better. If the condition is not good, go to the hospital for a physical examination. If it is breast fibroids, only a B-ultrasound examination can be done for diagnosis. The doctor will prescribe medication based on the results to avoid delaying the condition.

3. Pain when pressing lightly on both sides of the breast may also be caused by mastitis. This situation often occurs during breastfeeding, especially for new mothers in the confinement period. Babies drink very little milk during the confinement period. The excess milk in the new mother's body causes swelling, rashes, and pain when pressing lightly. In this case, it is best to gently massage the chest and apply hot compresses. The pain will also be improved to a certain extent. Breastfeed frequently to stimulate milk secretion.
