Female breast discomfort

Breasts are a very important part of a woman's body. They will gradually develop and mature as girls grow older. When the breasts develop, they often cause swelling and pain, which is very normal. The degree and causes of swelling and pain vary in each period. When girls' breasts develop during puberty, they will hurt if touched, so the breasts must be well protected. Let’s take a look at what women’s breast discomfort is like.

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 filling and 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 above is the relevant content about female breast discomfort. It can be seen that there are many reasons for breast pain. In many cases, breast pain is very obvious during pregnancy and after childbirth. Everyone must pay attention to protection during these two periods. Also pay attention to the protection of breasts during adolescence. If not properly protected, it is likely to affect the development of the breasts and have a certain impact on the human body.
