Why are my breasts getting bigger and more painful?

Many girls may be curious about why their breasts are enlarged and painful. On the one hand, enlarged and painful breasts may be caused by the physiological growth and development of the breasts. This often occurs in female patients during puberty. At this time, the patients are in puberty and the level of estrogen rises, which leads to breast growth and swelling and pain. On the other hand, it may also be caused by physiological reasons. For example, if the patient's endocrine system is disordered, emotional excitement, or unscientific diet structure leads to breast hyperplasia, breast enlargement and pain will occur before menstruation. Of course, it is also possible that it is caused by breast tumors.

Breast changes are not the only criterion for diagnosing early pregnancy. Generally, breast pain will occur when menstruation is approaching or when there is breast hyperplasia. It is recommended that if the menstrual period is overdue, a blood HCG test can be done to accurately determine whether you are pregnant. If it is inconvenient to go to the hospital, you can test it yourself with an early pregnancy test paper first.

What is the cause of breast enlargement and pain?

1. Pain and swelling during puberty. Some girls will enter puberty between the ages of 9 and 13, especially when they have their periods. This pain and swelling will be more obvious when the periods are coming soon. Girls do not need to worry too much about breast pain during puberty. This pain and swelling will usually subside slowly after the menstrual period comes back. In fact, it has a lot to do with the body's hormone metabolism level.

2. Breast pain after giving birth. After a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth, usually about three to seven days after delivery, her breasts will often be very painful, and there may even be lumps. This is actually because after giving birth, there is some blockage in the mammary glands, which makes it impossible for breast milk to be fully secreted, and the pain is caused by the obstruction of the mammary gland tubes.

3. Sexual intercourse. In fact, when a couple has sexual intercourse, the woman's breasts will often undergo some changes. If the sexual intercourse between the couple is not harmonious, or the woman's sexual needs cannot be met, the swelling of the breasts will not disappear easily, and this kind of persistent breast pain will undoubtedly occur over time.

Some people may experience enlarged and painful breasts when they are pregnant, but this does not mean that they are pregnant. If you want to clearly understand whether you are pregnant, you need to go to the hospital for a blood test immediately. Generally, the results of the blood test can be obtained within one day, and you must be on an empty stomach before the blood test.
