One breast hurts, what's going on?

Breast pain is not unfamiliar to many women, because in many cases, such as before menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum and after sexual intercourse, women will experience varying degrees of breast pain. Of course, some pathological reasons, such as breast hyperplasia and mastitis, are also the main causes of breast pain. Below, we will introduce the causes of breast pain in detail!

1. Premenstrual breast pain

Most women will experience breast tenderness and pain before menstruation, and various breast discomforts. Many women will also experience symptoms such as breast fullness and hardness. The symptoms will be alleviated after menstruation. This phenomenon is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not require treatment and will disappear on its own.

2. Breast pain during pregnancy

During pregnancy, women secrete a large amount of estrogen, which will stimulate their breasts and cause breast pain. The pain is especially obvious in the early stages of pregnancy. In addition, women's breasts will continue to grow during pregnancy, so they need to wear loose underwear in time to effectively relieve breast pain.

3. Postpartum breast pain

Women are prone to breast pain after childbirth. They need to massage their breasts properly and dredge the mammary glands in time to promote normal milk secretion, which can effectively relieve breast pain after childbirth. If women do not dredge the mammary glands in time after childbirth, it is easy to cause mastitis.

4. Breast pain after sexual intercourse

Women will experience breast pain after sexual intercourse, especially if the sex life is not harmonious, which can easily cause breast pain and uterine pain. Harmonious sex life can promote the normal development of breasts and effectively relieve breast pain. Rough sex life should be avoided in normal times.

5. Breast pain after abortion

Multiple abortions for women will also affect breast health and cause disorders in female hormone secretion, which will stimulate the normal development of the breasts and easily cause breast pain. Women need to take good care of their breasts and try to wear appropriate underwear.

6. Breast pain due to breast hyperplasia

Female breast pain may also be caused by pathological reasons. Be alert to mastitis and breast hyperplasia. It may also be caused by breast cancer. If women have abnormal breast manifestations, they need to go to the hospital for further examination and take measures to prevent and treat breast diseases.
