Why do breasts sometimes hurt and sometimes not?

Breasts are one of the most important symbols of women. In modern society, men seem to be more interested in women with plump breasts. But don’t overlook one point: breasts are not just for viewing, but are closely related to women’s physical health. They are also a necessary “tool” for breastfeeding. It is for these reasons that women must protect their breasts more in their lives. So, why do breasts sometimes hurt and sometimes not?

1. Caused by menstruation: This kind of pain is obviously related to menstruation. Usually, it causes breast swelling and pain two or three days before menstruation due to increased blood supply, and gradually disappears after menstruation. Due to its obvious relationship with the menstrual period, it usually does not cause trouble to the person concerned, so there is no need to worry too much.

2. The pressure is caused by an inappropriate bra, which can be relieved by changing the bra. In normal times, the choice of bra should be based on whether it fits you best.

3. Excessive breast size causes drooping and causes discomfort, which needs to be adjusted with appropriate underwear.

4. Pain caused by breast trauma.

5. Redness, swelling, heat and pain caused by breast inflammation and infection. Mastitis is particularly prone to occur during lactation. Proper treatment (such as administration of antibiotics and appropriate massage) can quickly relieve the symptoms.

6. Breast cancer itself rarely causes pain, unless it worsens and invades nearby tissues such as the skin or chest wall, then it will cause pain. This situation needs to be officially confirmed by the hospital.

Based on the above analysis of the causes of nipple pain, everyone can conduct self-examination of their own situation. However, if a friend's nipple pain has not been relieved for a long time, or the pain recurs but the cause is not found, then they should go to a local regular hospital for examination in time. After all, women's breast health has always been an issue that cannot be ignored.
