Breast tenderness after ovulation induction

If breast tenderness occurs after ovulation induction, it is most likely caused by hormonal changes in the body. This is a relatively normal phenomenon and female friends do not need to worry too much. However, if you experience breast tenderness, you can take some proactive measures to alleviate the pain. Below, I will introduce to you how to relieve breast pain after ovulation induction!

1. Massage your breasts regularly

Gently massaging the breasts can help return excess body fluid to the lymphatic system. When massaging, first apply soapy liquid to the breast, and rotate your fingers along the surface of the breast in a circle about the size of a coin. Then use your hands to press the breasts in and bounce them up, which is extremely helpful in preventing breast discomfort.

2. Try hot compress

Hot compress is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that can relieve breast pain by using hot compress bags, breast massagers, hot water bottles or hot baths. If you use alternating cold and hot compresses, the effect of eliminating breast discomfort will be better.

3. Wear a secure bra

In addition to preventing breast sagging, the more important function of a bra is to prevent further compression of the already compressed breast nerves and eliminate discomfort. Careful sisters will find that those jogging athletes wear stable bras for this health reason.

4. Use castor oil on your chest

Castor oil contains a substance that can enhance the function of T11 lymphocytes, which can accelerate the recovery of various infections and eliminate pain. The method is: drop castor oil on cotton cloth folded into four layers, let it be soaked with castor oil, but not too wet to avoid dripping everywhere. Apply the cloth to your breasts, cover with a layer of plastic wrap, and then place a hot compress bag on top. Adjust the heat pack to a temperature you can tolerate and leave it on for an hour.

5. Take vitamins

The diet should contain foods rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins. These vitamins help regulate the production of prostaglandin E. At the same time, eat less margarine because the hydrogenated fat in it interferes with the body's ability to convert essential fatty acids (from food) into gamma-linoleic acid (GIA), which promotes the formation of prostaglandin E and inhibits the production of prolactin.
