Why does one breast hurt?

The breast is the most important part of a woman's body. It has the important mission of nurturing offspring and can also make a woman look beautiful. However, this part is not just a decoration. It can also malfunction. However, many people do not know much about it and are at a loss when problems occur. The most common symptom is breast pain. This is the most common disease. Why does one breast hurt?

Once you find a lump or swelling and pain in your breast, don't panic. You can observe it for a few days. If tenderness or obvious lumps occur, you need to go to a regular hospital for examination in time. Breast pain is partly due to the stimulation of the mammary glands by estrogen and progesterone, which causes the breasts to swell. Sometimes there will be nipple pain and transparent secretions. This situation usually occurs before menstruation and disappears after the end of menstruation.

Some people experience irregular swelling and pain in the breast. This type of breast pain does not necessarily mean a breast tumor. Even if a lump can be felt in the breast, it does not necessarily mean breast cancer. Generally, breast lumps will form in the following situations: Breast fibrocystic: This is the most common benign breast tumor, mostly occurring in women over 30 years old. It is often bilateral and multiple, with swelling and tenderness, and the premenstrual symptoms will be more severe. Breast fibroadenoma: It is common in women around 20 years old. A lump can be felt in the breast, but there is no tenderness. Enlarged milk ducts: This condition is often seen in women around 40 years old, and the nipples on both sides will secrete some sticky liquid. The patient will have a burning sensation and a dull pain in the areola area, and upon palpation, curved and swollen milk ducts will be found under the areola.

If you have breast pain, you should maintain good sleeping habits and learn to massage your breasts. It may be that your sleeping posture is incorrect. Don't sleep on your side, as this will squeeze your breasts, which is bad for your health. Eat more papaya, which is good for your breasts. Don't take painkillers, as this will have the opposite effect.
