2. Early breast pain: Many women experience breast swelling, hardening, and tenderness before their menarche. In severe cases, the breasts will swell and become uncomfortable when slightly vibrated or impacted. This is because the body's estrogen level increases before menstruation, causing breast hyperplasia and edema of breast tissue. After menarche, the changes may subside.

3. Breast pain during pregnancy: Some women experience breast pain around 40 days of pregnancy because the embryo and fur secrete a large amount of female hormones, estrogen and prolactin, which causes breast enlargement. In severe cases, the pain may last throughout the pregnancy and does not require treatment.

4. Breast pain after giving birth: Breast distension, lumps and pain often occur 3 to 7 days after giving birth. This is mainly due to mammary lymph node retention, venous congestion, interstitial edema and obstruction of mammary gland duct.
