Breast health is very important to women, because breasts have a comprehensive impact on the body. Once there is a disease problem with the breasts, it will affect the safety of the entire body. For example, breast cancer is a serious breast disease that can be fatal, and mild diseases such as mastitis can also make women feel very painful. Let’s take a look at what causes breast pain? 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. 4. 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. |
