Women often experience breast pain, which is very uncomfortable. If the pain goes up, it will seriously affect sleep and have a great impact on women's emotions. At the same time as the breast pain, there may also be fever. Especially when pressing with the hands, the pain will be aggravated, and even nipple cracks may occur. So what are the main causes of breast pain? What's wrong with my breast pain recently? Breast pain is a common complaint in outpatient clinics. 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, heaviness and tenderness. 1. Breast pain caused by reasons other than breasts: In fact, it is diseases in other parts of the body that manifest as pain in the breast area, such as pneumonia and costochondritis. 2. Cyclic breast pain: It is related to the menstrual cycle and reflects the cyclical changes in hormones in the body. This pain is largely normal and mainly occurs in premenopausal women, especially before the age of 35. Most cases can be relieved by themselves. 3. 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. Is breast pain a disease? Although this is an era of high incidence of breast cancer, don't panic. 90% of breast pain is not a sign of disease! 1. Insufficient breast development, forming nodules Many women experience breast pain, which is related to their hormone levels. Insufficient breast development, medically known as incomplete involution, often causes breast pain. The process of changes in hormone levels caused by women's menstruation is like the ebb and flow of the tide. After the tide recedes, mud and sand will be left behind. These "mud and sand" that are not left behind when the tide recedes are equivalent to the epithelial cells that are constantly shed and renewed in the breast. They remain in the mammary ducts and cause incomplete degeneration. Many women will feel many nodules in their breasts. Whether they are lump-shaped, sand-shaped, nodular-shaped, strip-shaped, or plaque-shaped, they are all normal. Before pregnancy, the mammary ducts are blocked by accumulated epithelial cells, forming hard nodules. However, after pregnancy, due to the influence of estrogen and progesterone, the breasts are fully developed and the nodules disappear without treatment. 2. Third degree pain requires medical attention as soon as possible According to experts, breast pain is divided into three degrees. First degree is pain felt when touched with the hand, second degree is pain felt when moving, and third degree is pain at rest, which means pain felt even when lying in bed. First-degree pain does not require treatment, second-degree pain can be solved by taking medicine, and third-degree pain is also called severe pain, so you can go to the doctor. |
