What to do if your breasts are swollen and painful

Breasts are not only for women to feed their children, but also a manifestation of feminine beauty. However, many women suffer from breast-related diseases, and their breasts need careful care in daily life. Women are very likely to experience breast swelling and pain, whether it is due to external pressure, such as an ill-fitting bra or shaking during exercise, or internal breast disease, breast swelling and pain must be relieved in a timely manner.

Wear a suitable bra

If you wear a bra that is too tight, your chest muscles will be compressed and you will definitely feel uncomfortable over time. So when buying a bra, don't buy a size that is too small in order to achieve a "big breasts" effect. In addition, wearing a bra that is too loose or not wearing a bra often is not good because the breasts will have no support. If you need to run again, your breasts will feel pain. Also, when exercising, don't wear an ordinary bra. You must wear a special sports bra. This is very important. Otherwise, the breasts will sag, become deformed, and become swollen and painful.

Heat

Hot compress is a relatively traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. You can use some hot water bags or hot water bottles to relieve some breast pain. If you use cold therapy, you need to alternate between hot and cold to eliminate breast pain. The effect will be better. We need to remind everyone that hot compress can only temporarily relieve symptoms and has no therapeutic effect.

Salt reduction campaign

High-salt foods should be avoided 7 to 10 days before menstruation because they can cause breast enlargement. People who often eat three meals a day in restaurants need to pay attention. The food in restaurants often adds a lot of condiments, so the salt content is much higher than that of home-made dishes. If you eat very salty stews or snacks, do not drink a lot of water immediately, because this will not only fail to neutralize the salt, but will also allow the salt to penetrate into the blood through the liquid and compress the blood vessels.

Eat more vitamins

Vitamins can reduce prolactin. Prolactin can cause breast swelling, so you can take in more foods rich in vitamin C and B vitamins to regulate the production of prostaglandin E and help inhibit the production of prolactin.
