What causes breast pain after menstruation?

As women age, their bodies develop, so they are prone to breast pain at many ages. According to experts' surveys, breast pain in women includes breast pain during puberty, premenstrual pain, pregnancy pain, postpartum pain, and breast pain after artificial abortion and after sexual intercourse. Different treatments are required for different situations. So what is breast pain after menstruation?

First, what causes breast pain after menstruation? In most cases, women do not need to worry about it, but if the pain cannot be relieved for a long time, or even becomes more and more severe, or if a lump with uneven edges, unclear edges, and poor mobility is found when touching the breast, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. Before, during or after menstruation, women may experience unbearable nipple itching or pain that makes them unable to wear clothes, which gradually improves after the period ends. This is called "menstrual nipple itching and pain." The nipple belongs to the liver, so this disease is mainly attributed to the liver. The main causes of this disease are qi stagnation, blood stasis and qi and blood deficiency.

Second, Qi stagnation and blood stasis: emotional damage, liver depression and Qi stagnation, poor blood circulation, and nipple stasis. During menstruation, Qi and blood are exuberant and stasis is aggravated, thus causing this disease. Insufficiency of Qi and blood: After menstruation, Yin blood flows downward, Qi is lost along with blood, liver blood is deficient, spleen qi is deficient, nipples lose nourishment from Qi and blood, or dry blood generates wind and itching and pain occur.

Third, breast pain during adolescence: The earliest breast pain in girls usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, girls' breasts begin to develop, with the nipples first bulging and a slight feeling of pain. After menarche, it will disappear on its own as the breasts mature during puberty.

What causes breast pain after menstruation? Premenstrual breast pain: Many women experience fullness, hardness, and tenderness in their breasts during menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts may become swollen and painful with just a slight vibration or collision, and the original granules or nodules may become more obvious. This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of the breast interstitial tissue. After the menstrual period, the above changes disappear.
