Pain when pressing around the breast

Breasts are a symbol of female gender and play the important role of feeding children. However, if breasts are not well cared for, they may cause women great pain. Many female friends experience pain when pressing around their breasts before and after their menstrual period, but they don’t know what medicine to take to treat breast pain quickly. In fact, if you have breast pain, you should first check what causes the pain and then take appropriate medicine. Here are some of the causes of breast pain.

Cause of breast pain 2: Breast pain during menstruation: It is the most common type of breast pain, accounting for about 65% of all breast pain, and the average age of occurrence is 35 years old. The pain usually occurs or worsens 3 to 7 days before menstruation and gradually disappears or eases after menstruation. The severity of the pain varies from month to month, and is often felt as a heaviness, distension, dull pain, or occasional brief tingling sensation. There are also tender breast nodules, which are aggravated by pressure, movement or lifting objects.

Cause of breast pain 4: Breast tenderness during pregnancy: Some expectant mothers experience breast tenderness around 40 days after pregnancy due to the placenta and villi secreting large amounts of estrogen and progesterone, which enlarges the breasts. In severe cases, the pain may last throughout the pregnancy and usually does not require treatment.

Reason 6 for breast pain: Postpartum breast pain: Breast fullness, hardness and pain often occur 3 to 7 days after delivery. This is mainly due to the effects of prolactin, venous filling, interstitial edema and milk filling. Therefore, mothers should breastfeed as early as possible. If there is a lump, you can apply hot compress and massage the lump before breastfeeding, or you can use a breast pump to extract milk to promote the patency of the mammary ducts.
