What to do if you have pain on both sides of your breasts? Revealing the real "culprit" of breast pain and tingling

What should I do if I have pain on both sides of my breasts? Breast pain can be divided into cyclical and non-cyclical, and can also change from cyclical to non-cyclical. 2/3 of breast pain is cyclical. The vast majority of patients are premenopausal women. The most common site of pain is above the outer side of the breast, and symptoms worsen before menstruation. The pain is characterized by distension, tingling, heaviness and tenderness.

1. Cyclic breast pain:

It is related to the menstrual cycle and reflects the cyclical changes in hormones in the body. This pain is normal to a large extent and mainly occurs in premenopausal women, especially before the age of 35. This condition is generally cyclical pain caused by breast hyperplasia.

2. Non-cyclical breast pain:

Compared with cyclical breast pain, non-cyclical breast pain is more worthy of attention. But most non-cyclical breast pain is also benign. Its characteristics include intermittent onset, variable pain intensity, mostly unilateral occurrence, and sharp nature. Patients need to pay attention to this situation.

The real culprit of breast pain and tingling is breast hyperplasia

Most breast pain and tingling are caused by breast diseases. Experts remind people to be alert to breast hyperplasia when breast pain occurs. The main symptoms of breast hyperplasia are breast pain and breast lumps:

(1) Breast pain : It is often characterized by distending pain or stabbing pain, which may affect one or both breasts, with one breast being more severe. In severe cases, the breast cannot be touched, and may even affect daily life and work. The pain is mainly in the breast lump, and may also radiate to the affected armpit, chest, flank, shoulder and back; some people experience nipple pain or itching. Breast pain often occurs or worsens a few days before menstruation and is significantly relieved or disappears after menstruation. The pain may also fluctuate with mood changes. This pain related to the menstrual cycle and emotional changes is the main feature of the clinical manifestations of hyperplasia of the breast.

(2) Breast lumps : Breast lumps can occur in one or both breasts, in one or more lumps, and are more common in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, but can also occur in other quadrants. The shapes of the lumps include flake-shaped, nodular-shaped, cord-shaped, granular-shaped, etc., among which the flake-shaped is the most common. The lump has unclear boundaries, is of medium or slightly hard texture, has good mobility, has no adhesion to surrounding tissues, and is often tender. The lumps vary in size, with small ones being as big as millet grains and large ones exceeding 3 to 4 cm. Breast lumps also change with the menstrual cycle. The lumps become larger and harder before menstruation, and shrink and soften after menstruation.
