Is breast pain during ovulation normal?

Women will experience major physiological changes during their ovulation period. For example, their sexual desire will be higher or increased hormones may cause acne on the face. These are all normal reactions during ovulation. However, some women experience breast pain during ovulation. Everyone knows that breast pain can be a big or small problem, but if it is only during ovulation, is it a normal phenomenon?

Nipple pain is completely normal. The pain is most severe around ovulation, and it hurts when you touch it with your hand. The luteal phase is slightly less intense until menstruation occurs. The pain is the worst before and after ovulation. I don’t know if it’s the effect of estrogen. Estrogen levels are highest before and on the day of ovulation. After the corpus luteum is formed, due to the effect of progesterone, estrogen is not as high as before ovulation, so nipple pain is slightly relieved, but it will exist until menstruation comes.

Many women experience breast swelling or nipple pain during ovulation, and sometimes the nipples are simply unable to be touched. The breast pain may also continue until the eve of the next menstrual period. If the underwear is too tight or ill-fitting, or you do a lot of exercise, friction may cause local pain. Excessive movements during sexual intercourse can damage the nipples and cause pain.

The breast is the target organ of endocrine hormones, which means that under normal circumstances, that is, during endocrine changes in the menstrual cycle, breast tissue will be affected by endocrine hormones and undergo physiological changes. The breast will undergo cyclical proliferation and involution during the menstrual cycle, which manifests as fullness and mild pain in the breast before menstruation. The breast pain will be reduced or disappear after menstruation. This physiological change is a normal phenomenon for women of childbearing age, but the degree of breast pain varies from person to person.

I believe that after reading this article, you have already understood the question of whether breast pain during ovulation is normal. In fact, breast pain during ovulation is quite common in clinical practice. However, if you also experience breast pain at other times besides ovulation, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a breast examination to see if there are other diseases.
