What causes mild breast pain?

Women's breasts can be said to be an important physiological feature of the female body. When a woman enters puberty, the hormones in the body will change, and at this time the woman's breasts will gradually swell. And because the breasts are a very delicate area, some hormonal changes in a woman's body can trigger breast pain. There are mild and severe breast pains, so what is the cause of mild breast pain in women?

Common causes of breast pain

Generally speaking, if there is sudden, persistent, and severe pain in the breast accompanied by obvious tenderness, it is considered to be various acute infectious diseases of the breast; if there is local throbbing pain, it may be that the local area has become suppurative. If breast pain is paroxysmal, and often begins before menstruation or worsens before menstruation, and is relieved or disappears after menstruation, and the pain is distending or stabbing, and sometimes involves the armpit or shoulder and back on the same side, and there is mild to moderate tenderness locally, then it is considered to be a proliferative lesion. If your nipples are extremely painful, broken, or cracked during breastfeeding, it may be caused by the baby sucking and biting the nipples, resulting in nipple fissures. If the breast pain is only mild dull pain or aching pain, the onset has no obvious regularity, and is only sporadic or paroxysmal, and some are persistent, it is often ignored because the pain is not obvious. It should be noted that such breast pain may also be a signal of early breast malignant disease and should be given sufficient attention. Sometimes, there is no obvious pain in the breast, but only pain in one armpit or shoulder and back, which may also be a malignant lesion. These subtle changes should not be easily ignored.

If there is severe, persistent, burning pain in the breast that progressively worsens and is difficult to relieve on its own, and is accompanied by ulceration and necrosis of the local mass or ulceration of the surgical wound and surrounding skin, it is breast pain in the late stage of malignant disease. At this time, because the symptoms and signs of other malignant diseases are already very clear, it is not difficult to find the cause of the pain. In addition, some women also experience breast pain when their breasts are swollen. This is a physiological condition and should be distinguished from breast pain caused by disease.

In short, if you experience breast pain, don't panic, but also don't be careless and think that breast pain is no big deal and it will go away if you bear it. Some women are shy and find breast pain difficult to talk about and are embarrassed to see a doctor. These are all incorrect perceptions. Breast changes, even mild breast pain, should be taken seriously, because breast pain may be a symptom of many breast diseases or even a sign of breast malignancy.
