What causes breast pain?

Breast pain is relatively common in clinical practice, but it can be divided into cyclical and non-cyclical types. It usually occurs in women before menopause, and the pain is concentrated on the upper outer side of the breast. The following describes the causes.

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.
