How to treat breast lump pain?

If you have a lump or pain in your breast and want to relieve and treat it in time, you must first find out the cause of the lump, because the treatment methods corresponding to each cause are different. Common causes of lumps include breast pain during pregnancy, breast pain after childbirth, mastitis, etc. If you can't tell the difference, you should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis.

【1】Breast tenderness during pregnancy. For some women, around 40 days after pregnancy, the placenta and chorion secrete large amounts of estrogen and progesterone, which can cause breast hyperplasia and breast enlargement, leading to breast pain and discomfort. In severe cases, the pain may last throughout the entire pregnancy.

【2】Breast pain after childbirth. 3-7 days after giving birth, women often experience swelling, hardening and pain in their breasts. This is mainly caused by breast lymph fluid retention, venous congestion and interstitial edema, as well as obstructed mammary ducts. Generally, the pain will subside after the milk starts to flow smoothly.

【3】Breast pain after abortion. After an abortion, some women experience breast tenderness and a lump. This is caused by the sudden interruption of pregnancy, which causes a sharp drop in hormone levels, causing the newly developed mammary glands to suddenly stop growing, resulting in breast lumps and breast pain, which usually gradually improves after 1-2 months.

【4】Acute mastitis. Acute mastitis is an acute suppurative infection of the breast, which mainly occurs during the lactation period and is more common in primiparas. It is related to milk stasis, lack of attention to breast hygiene and breast damage. It manifests as chills, fever, severe redness, swelling and pain in the breast, and is often accompanied by tenderness. In severe cases, abscesses are formed.

【5】Chronic mastitis. Chronic mastitis is a rare type of breast pain that mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly women. It is related to infection after injury and the pain is relatively mild.

【6】 Breast hyperplasia. Breast hyperplasia is a non-inflammatory, non-tumor proliferation of intraglandular tissue, which manifests as breast lumps and breast pain. The pain and distension vary in severity and are often cyclical, becoming noticeable before menstruation or between two menstrual periods and subsiding after menstruation. Top 10 Breast Surgeons

【7】Breast fibroadenoma. Breast fibroadenoma is a benign tumor that often occurs in middle-aged and young women. Its main manifestation is breast lumps, or local swelling and pain before or at the beginning of menstruation. Breasts are a relatively fragile part of the female body. Protecting their health means keeping yourself away from illness. Therefore, if you experience breast pain, don't panic or be careless, but pay full attention to the changes in your breasts.
