Pain when pressing on the bone under the breast

When taking a shower, you will often find that the bones under the breasts hurt when pressed. This is mainly due to bacterial infection of the breast, including irregular menstrual cycles, hormonal dysfunction, or physiological pain before and after menstruation. It cannot be ruled out that it is due to physiological or pathological factors, so you need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

The main reasons are as follows:

1. Fear of breast cancer. Once the breast hurts, the patient is always worried that breast cancer has occurred, or that prolonged pain may cause breast cancer, so the patient seeks medical treatment frequently.

2. Believe that breast pain must be caused by some breast disease. In clinical practice, most breast pain will be diagnosed by doctors as breast hyperplasia. After taking medication as prescribed by the doctor, the pain does not improve, or it reappears soon after being relieved. Patients are worried that if breast hyperplasia is not cured, it will cause other problems over time, so they keep taking medication.

3. Some more severe breast pain does affect the patient's life and work and requires treatment.

The cause of breast pain is generally related to the menstrual cycle. Under the action of hormones, the breasts proliferate vigorously before menstruation, the glands are rich, the cells are enlarged, and the mammary tissue is edematous. After menstruation, the estrogen level decreases, the above changes disappear, the breasts become loose and soft, the swelling and pain are significantly reduced or disappears, and the symptoms reappear before the next menstrual period. It is generally divided into physiological causes and pathological causes. Most of the causes of breast pain in women are normal physiological phenomena and there is no need to be particularly nervous. Such as breast development during adolescence, menstrual pain, breast pain caused by estrogen changes during pregnancy, breast dysfunction after childbirth, breast pain caused by female endocrine imbalance after abortion, and disharmonious sexual life can also lead to breast pain. Pathological causes include severe breast hyperplasia, breast inflammatory lesions, breast malignant tumors, etc.
