What causes breast tenderness after menopause?

Women in menopause sometimes experience breast pain, which is mainly related to the imbalance of sex hormones secreted in the female body. In addition, when the autonomic nervous system is disordered, it is also easy to cause such pain. More serious cases may even radiate and cause pain in the shoulders, back and upper limbs. At this time, good conditioning should be carried out in time, and the pain can be relieved by taking certain Chinese medicines.

Many women experience breast tenderness before menstruation, but they don’t know much about it. According to surveys, about 70% to 80% of women have breast pain to varying degrees, which is more common in women aged 25 to 45.

After menopause, many women think that they will not have gynecological diseases. This is wrong. What is the cause of breast pain during menopause? The author will introduce it in detail below:

Menopausal women may also experience unbearable breast pain, often accompanied by breast warmth and discomfort, which is related to the secretion of large amounts of gonadotropin and autonomic nervous system disorders in their bodies.

The pathogenesis of mastalgia is similar to that of primary dysmenorrhea and is quite common. The pain is of variable location and severity on both sides, and may radiate to the armpits, shoulders, back and upper limbs. In severe cases, the patient cannot get dressed and is afraid to walk. During examination, a thickening or granular feeling may be seen on the upper outer part of the breast, with slight tenderness, but no lumps. The characteristic of mastalgia is breast pain without breast lumps. The pain is severe and persistent, like a needle or knife-like sensation, and sometimes it is a dull pain.

The treatment of mastalgia is better with Chinese medicine to soothe the liver and relieve pain. In most cases, the pain will be relieved or even disappear after a period of treatment, and some may recur. In a few cases, lumps will develop later, forming breast hyperplasia, so regular check-ups are required.

Through the above analysis and introduction, I believe everyone knows the relevant knowledge about breast pain. Friends in need can receive correct treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, I wish you all good health, happiness and joy.
