Does anyone know what causes breast pain in girls?

Girl has chest pain. When girls are just beginning to develop, they are relatively innocent and may find that their breasts feel pain from time to time. However, because they are innocent girls, they are too embarrassed to ask others, even their parents. Here, I will tell girls why you have chest pain. Listen carefully. I hope my story can answer your questions.

1. Breast pain during adolescence: The earliest breast pain in girls usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, girls' breasts begin to develop, with the nipples first bulging and a slight feeling of pain. After menarche, it will disappear on its own as the breasts mature during puberty.

2. Premenstrual breast pain: Many women experience fullness, hardness, and tenderness in the breasts during menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts may become swollen and painful even with a slight vibration or collision, and the original granules or nodules may become more obvious. This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of the breast interstitial tissue. After the menstrual period, the above changes disappear.

3. Breast tenderness during pregnancy: Some women experience breast tenderness around 40 days of pregnancy due to changes in estrogen levels in the body, which causes breast hyperplasia and breast enlargement. In severe cases, the pain may last throughout the pregnancy and no treatment is required.

4. Postpartum breast tenderness: Breast tenderness, lumps and pain may often occur 3 to 7 days after delivery. This is mainly caused by breast lymph retention, venous congestion, interstitial edema and obstruction of mammary ducts. Prevention and treatment methods: Mothers should breastfeed as soon as possible; if there are nodules, apply hot compresses and massage the nodules before breastfeeding; you can also use a breast pump to draw out milk to promote patency of the mammary ducts.

5. Breast pain after artificial abortion: After artificial abortion, some women complain of breast pain and can feel a lump. This is due to the sudden interruption of pregnancy; the hormone level in the body drops sharply, causing the newly developed mammary gland to suddenly stop growing, resulting in breast lumps and breast pain.

6. Breast cancer: It is common in women aged 20 to 40 and has a slow course of disease. In the early stage, there is one or several nodules in the breast, which are painless or tender, have unclear boundaries with surrounding tissues, are often adhered to the skin, and the axillary lymph nodes on the same side may be enlarged. Clinically, there is no fever. After the pus mass softens, it forms a cold abscess; it can penetrate the skin to form a fistula or sinus tract, and discharge thin pus with cheesy debris. In a few patients, the lumps become hard lumps through fibrosis, which changes the shape of the breast and causes the nipple to retract, making it difficult to distinguish from breast cancer.

It is normal for girls to have chest pain. Girls don't have to worry too much about their bodies. As I said above, chest pain means that you are in the developmental period and are developing normally, so there is no need to panic. Girls now know why they have breast pain. In fact, there is nothing wrong with your body. It is actually a normal phenomenon. I hope this article can relieve your panic. Sincerely wish every girl to be beautiful!
