What causes breast and armpit pain?

Life is really not easy for women. Not only do they have to be tortured by menstruation every month, but they also have to face the pain of childbirth. Therefore, all male friends should pay more attention to their girlfriends and wives in life. Many female friends will experience breast pain in their lives, and sometimes even the same pain will occur in the armpits. So, what causes breast and armpit pain?

1.Neuritis

Many times, there are two main reasons why neuritis causes arm pain in patients. After a lot of research, it was found that most people and patients with neuritis had a history of immunity and colds before the onset of the disease. Usually, the people who are prone to paralysis are mainly young people. The early symptoms of the disease are pain, mainly located in the root of the neck and supraclavicular fossa or shoulder side. The pain is mainly manifested as burning, acupuncture, and the pain is intermittent.

As time goes by, the pain caused by neuritis will intensify and may spread to the ipsilateral upper arm, forearm, and hand. When the upper limbs are abducted or raised, the pain in the armpit will be more obvious.

May spread to the upper arm, forearm, and hand on the same side

2. Breast hyperplasia

This situation is generally common in female patients. Compared with men, women are much more likely to suffer from breast hyperplasia. If the armpit pain is caused by breast hyperplasia, its characteristics include swelling and tingling, and may even affect one or both breasts. If the condition is more serious, the affected area should not be touched easily, and it may also affect your normal life and work. The pain is mainly located in the breast lump, and may also radiate to the affected armpit, chest, ribs, or shoulder and back.

The incidence rate of women is generally heavy menstruation in the first few days, with symptoms such as breast pain and arm pain. The pain is closer to the menstrual period and is more obvious. After the menstrual period ends, these painful symptoms will gradually disappear.

3. Catch a cold

If the human body is exposed to cold for a long time, it will also experience armpit pain. Chinese medicine believes that armpit pain is mostly caused by cold. In addition, excessive strain may cause qi stagnation and blood stasis, and poor blood circulation, resulting in pain symptoms. As the saying goes, "If there is pain, there is obstruction; if there is obstruction, there is no pain." Therefore, qi stagnation and blood stasis is another major cause of armpit pain. For this group of people, basic warming measures must be taken in daily life.

When symptoms such as pain occur, special attention should be paid to rest more and avoid excessive fatigue, as these may worsen the patient's condition and even affect the health of the entire shoulder and arm.

4. Mental stress

I believe that many people don’t know that the reason why symptoms such as armpit pain occur is often closely related to mental aspects. If the patient is under mental stress for a long time, his nerves will become tense, which will cause pain. In addition to mental factors, long-term incorrect posture, local inflammation, ischemic heart disease, etc. are all common causes of axillary pain.
