There is a lump in the breast that occasionally hurts

Since many women now suffer from breast hyperplasia, major health clubs have launched breast care packages, attracting many women to consume. So is the occasional lump or pain in the breast caused by breast hyperplasia? If this happens to your body, you should first rule out breast pain during menstruation, and then consider whether it is breast hyperplasia. It is best to go to the hospital for examination and confirmation, and do not make blind judgments.

Breast lumps and pain are a form of breast disease. Due to the complexity of breast disease itself, once breast lumps and pain are found, it is important to take them seriously and ensure early detection and early treatment.

Causes of painful breast lumps

1. Breast pain caused by diseases around the breast

The body is an integrated system of mutually influential parts; changes in one part often lead to changes in the surrounding areas. Diseases such as pneumonia and costochondritis can easily cause breast pain and discomfort.

2. Cyclic breast pain caused by menstrual physiology

The menstrual cycle affects the changes in body hormones, which in turn affects the comfort of the breasts. This physiologically caused pain is a normal phenomenon, and most young women suffer from it. The pain can be relieved by drinking brown sugar water, massaging the lower abdomen, etc.

3. Non-cyclical irregular breast pain

Studies have shown that the sensation of the breast is controlled by the intercostal nerves and the 3rd and 4th cervical nerves. Once these nerves are invaded, it will cause pain, so breast pain is not a specific symptom of a certain disease. Mastitis, breast hyperplasia and breast aches can all cause breast pain.

What to do if you have a lump or pain in your breast

1. First, go to a regular place for a check-up to determine what type of breast problem you have. Since breast pain is not a symptom of a breast disease, you need to determine what type of problem you have based on your personal situation.

2. If the examination shows breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia, mastitis, breast nodules, etc., symptomatic medication is needed, and Western medicine can be taken orally.

Anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs; related Chinese patent medicines for internal use, such as pills and granules; related Chinese medicines for external use, such as Jiaoruling ointment, patch therapy, moxibustion therapy, and physical therapy.

3. It is necessary to combine nursing and treatment. Many diseases cannot be controlled simply by medication. Emotions and daily living habits have a huge impact on the body. Relaxing mentally, paying attention to dietary taboos, staying up late less, not smoking or drinking, etc. will all play a positive auxiliary role in breast diseases.
