What causes breast swelling and pain?

Breasts are an important part of a woman's body. They are not only used as a tool for breastfeeding, but also an important reflection of a woman's figure. However, there are always many women who have many problems, such as the size and shape of the appearance. However, breast swelling and pain are already common breast diseases, accounting for a large proportion of all diseases. So what is the cause of breast swelling and pain? Let me introduce it to you below.

Lifelong breast pain is often related to menstruation. Breast tenderness about a week before menstruation is considered normal.

2. Breast hyperplasia: If breast pain is paroxysmal, and often begins before the menstrual cycle 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 hyperplastic lesion.

3. Mastitis: Generally speaking, if there is sudden, persistent, and relatively strong 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.

4. Breast injury caused by human factors: If the nipple is extremely painful, broken or open during breastfeeding, it may be caused by the baby sucking and biting the nipple. 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.

5. Breast tenderness after abortion: Some women feel breast tenderness and tenderness after abortion, and may feel a lump. This is because the pregnancy is suddenly interrupted, which causes the hormone levels in the body to drop sharply, causing the newly developed mammary glands to suddenly stop growing, resulting in breast lumps and breast pain.

Although breast swelling and pain is the most common disease among women, you should not be too careless. You must discover it in time and seek treatment in time. Once you find your breasts are swollen and painful, go to the hospital and let the doctor diagnose whether it is physiological pain or pathological pain. Never use medication indiscriminately. Don't cause unnecessary consequences due to your recklessness
