Discussion on right breast pain

I believe that many female friends have experienced breast pain or swelling, and quite a few people are worried that there may be more serious problems, and they don’t know how to deal with it for a while. In fact, most breast pains are normal, and only a small part is caused by diseases. Let’s discuss the issue of whether right breast pain is normal.

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 slight vibration or collision, and the original granular or nodular feeling 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 early as possible; if there are nodules, apply hot compresses and massage the nodules before breastfeeding; you can also use a breast pump to extract milk to promote patency of the mammary ducts.

The above manifestations and treatment methods of breast pain in four situations should show that breast pain during adolescence is relatively normal and will return to normal as the breasts continue to develop. Of course, we cannot rule out other diseases, such as hyperplasia, edema, etc., and expectant mothers should also pay special attention to their breasts, because if they are not handled properly at this time, they will definitely leave sequelae.
