Pain next to the breast

In real life, many women ignore breast pain because of "shyness" or "it will pass if I endure it", and only regret it when it eventually develops into breast cancer. In particular, pain on the sides of women's chest is closely related to many breast diseases, so women must pay attention to it. So what causes pain on the side of the breast?

1. Mastitis

The early symptoms of mastitis are pain on both sides of the breast, which may be accompanied by swelling, heat and pain, and some patients may also have fever.

2. Breast pain during puberty

Generally speaking, girls' breasts will have a slight swelling and pain soon after they begin to grow. Generally, this pain will disappear automatically after the menarche.

3. Premenstrual pain

The study found that about one-third of women experience breast pain and discomfort before their menarche, and some even have lumps. This is actually caused by increased estrogen levels in the body. If the body's estrogen level continues to rise, it may eventually cause breast hyperplasia, edema of the breast tissue, etc., so it should not be underestimated. If it is premenstrual swelling and pain, it will usually stop as soon as the menstrual period ends.

Premenstrual pain can be divided into many different stages. For example, during pregnancy, due to changes in estrogen in the body and the huge increase in breast size, breast pain may also occur. Generally speaking, breast pain during pregnancy does not require special treatment.

A very small number of women also experience breast pain and occasional lumps after abortion. This is because the sudden end of pregnancy causes the body's growth hormone to drop suddenly, and the newly developed mammary glands stop growing and developing, resulting in temporary breast pain.

4. Mastoid arthritis

The pathogenesis of mastoid arthritis is the same as that of primary dysmenorrhea. Its main characteristic is that the pain in the two breasts is different, and it may even radiate to other parts of the breast surrounding. Mastioarthritis is closely related to estrogen and autonomic nervous system metabolic abnormalities.
