What happens if there are lumps in the breast during menstruation?

Menstruation is a very normal physiological phenomenon for women. For women, normal and regular menstruation can bring stability to their lives and keep their bodies healthy for a long time. However, in modern life, the physical condition of many women is getting worse and worse, and their physical health has declined significantly. For example, what happens if there are lumps in the breasts during menstruation? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

According to relevant data, more than half of women experience breast pain, hardness, and tenderness when their menstruation is about to come. In severe cases, they may even find it unbearable due to slight vibrations.

Many women are troubled by this pain and even think it is a symptom of breast cancer.

In fact, breast tenderness during menstruation is a normal phenomenon.

Medically, this phenomenon is classified as premenstrual syndrome, which is caused by high hormone levels in the body before menstruation. Breast tenderness is caused by estrogen-induced breast hyperplasia and breast tissue edema.

However, after the menstruation arrives, hormone levels gradually return to normal and this phenomenon will disappear. No treatment is needed, and there is no need to worry too much.

But some people ask: Since it is breast hyperplasia, will it turn into cancer?

First, let's understand the cause of breast hyperplasia. Breast tissue is very sensitive to hormones. Once the hormones in the body are out of balance, breast hyperplasia is likely to occur, which may also be accompanied by breast lumps, menstrual disorders, galactorrhea, and bad temper.

However, breast tenderness is different from breast hyperplasia. Pain is only the initial manifestation of breast hyperplasia.

Secondly, breast hyperplasia is very "distantly" related to breast cancer.

Among women aged 25-45, approximately 70%-80% experience varying degrees of breast hyperplasia, and the disease has been on the rise in recent years.

Breast hyperplasia and breast cancer are diseases caused by the rapid growth of breast epithelial cells, but breast hyperplasia is a benign, controllable cell accumulation.

Breast cancer is malignant and the growth rate of cells is uncontrollable. At the same time, malignant breast cells will enter the blood and lymph, causing cancer cell metastasis.
