What are the types of breast tenderness and fever?

As a special organ in the female body, breasts not only have practical value in raising the next generation, but also have ornamental value and play an indispensable role in a girl's own image. Therefore, once a problem occurs, everyone will be quite nervous, and breast pain and fever are experienced by almost every female friend. So why does this phenomenon occur? What are the types of breast pain and fever? Let's talk about this issue below.

After long-term observation and research, medical workers have found that women have six main types of breast pain.

1. Breast pain during adolescence: It usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13. After menarche, the pain will disappear on its own.

2. Premenstrual breast pain: Many women experience breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness before menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts will become swollen and painful with the slightest vibration or collision.

This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of breast tissue. The above changes may disappear after menstruation.

3. Breast tenderness during pregnancy: Some women experience breast tenderness and pain around 40 days of pregnancy due to the placenta and villi secreting large amounts of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, which causes the breasts to enlarge. In severe cases, the pain may last throughout the pregnancy and does not require treatment.

4. Postpartum breast pain: Breast fullness, hardness and pain often occur 3 to 7 days after delivery. This is mainly due to breast lymph retention, venous congestion, interstitial edema and obstructed mammary ducts.

5. Breast pain after abortion: This is because the pregnancy is suddenly interrupted, and the hormone level in the body drops suddenly, causing the newly developed breasts to suddenly stop growing, resulting in breast lumps and breast pain.

6. Breast pain after sexual intercourse: This is related to the physiological changes in the breasts during sexual intercourse. People with low libido or disharmonious sex life cannot achieve sexual satisfaction, so breast congestion and swelling are not easy to subside, or they subside incompletely. Continuous congestion will cause breast pain.

The types of breast pain and fever are mentioned above, so if female friends experience the above problems, there is no need to panic, this is a relatively normal phenomenon. However, if the swelling, pain and fever persist for a long time, or if a lump appears in the breast, you must take it seriously and go to the hospital for treatment in time.
