What causes breast tenderness after miscarriage?

Some women have basically no abnormal reactions after having an abortion. As long as you pay more attention to rest and eat more nutritious foods, you can ensure the healthy recovery of the body. Little do people know that some women experience breast pain after an abortion. So, what is the cause of breast pain after abortion?

After an abortion, breast pain occurs because the body's growth hormone suddenly stops being metabolized, but the breasts still secrete milk. In this case, the breasts secrete very little milk and no treatment is needed. In fact, this is the same condition as breast pain right after having a baby. However, since the number of days after abortion is relatively short, even if breast pain occurs, it will subside in about a week.

Most women experience breast pain after an abortion. At this time, women are required to wear relatively loose underwear and avoid squeezing the breasts too hard to reduce the secretion of milk and gradually relieve breast pain. However, it should be noted that some women also experience breast pain due to breast hyperplasia. They need to see a doctor immediately and take medication as prescribed by the doctor.

In the early stages of pregnancy, many women experience breast pain because estrogen and progesterone can stimulate the breasts. This feeling will not disappear all at once after an abortion, because it takes some time for estrogen and progesterone to return to normal ranges after an abortion. It usually takes 1-2 weeks for breast pain to subside. Therefore, it is normal for breast pain to persist after an abortion, but it should not last too long. If breast pain still occurs about 3-4 weeks after abortion, you should suspect that the abortion was incomplete and should do B-ultrasound and HCG test to determine the abortion. If the miscarriage is incomplete, it can be treated with uterine curettage or oral medication. If the abortion is incomplete, a breast B-ultrasound should be done to check whether there are any breast diseases, such as breast hyperplasia or breast masses.

Although there is no significant impact on women's bodies after abortion, if multiple abortions are performed, it will affect their health to a certain extent. Therefore, if you are not planning to have children, you should use safe contraceptive methods as much as possible to reduce the harm of abortion to women's bodies.
