What causes breast pain after menopause?

Breast pain after menopause is sometimes a normal physiological phenomenon. The main reason is that hormones in the body have changed, which will eventually lead to breast pain, breast tissue hyperplasia, breast tissue edema, etc. At this time, you must pay attention to good conditioning, pay attention to diet, and take good care of your breasts. As menstruation gradually stops, this pain will gradually disappear.

Many women are troubled by breast pain that accompanies menstruation every month. This is actually a normal physiological phenomenon. Due to the fluctuation of hormone levels, breast tissue hyperplasia and edema of intermammary tissue occur, which eventually makes women feel breast pain. As women's menstruation gradually stops during menopause, this cyclical breast pain will also disappear.

"During menopause, due to the significant decrease in estrogen in the body, after a period of time, the breasts gradually shrink due to the lack of estrogen stimulation, and the mammary glands gradually degenerate and are replaced by fat tissue, which manifests as smaller breast volume, sagging, and increased skin wrinkles in the breast area. In addition, the original lumps caused by certain benign breast lesions can also shrink to varying degrees as the normal glands shrink, and periodic breast pain will also disappear."

Although this cyclical breast pain will theoretically disappear with the end of menstruation, some women say that breast pain is simply "lingering" and still exists even after menopause. What is going on?

This may be a reaction to a special physiological period, but it may also be caused by a disease. Women are advised to be vigilant. "Postmenopausal breast pain can be caused by acute or chronic inflammation of the breast. Certain hormone drugs may also stimulate irregular proliferation of breast tissue and cause mild pain or discomfort."

If women still experience breast pain after menopause, they can go to the hospital for examination. If it is normal, they can ignore it. If it is caused by a disease, they need to be treated as soon as possible.
