Why does my breast hurt when I touch it? Ladies, please take a look

Women's chest pain must be taken seriously. In many cases, it is caused by breast diseases, the most common of which is breast hyperplasia. In addition, excessive stress and cervical spondylosis can also cause chest pain. It is necessary to find the cause and treat it in time. Massage is also very effective.

1. What causes chest pain?

1. Chest pain caused by breast hyperplasia

The swelling and pain in this situation does not change with the menstrual cycle, has no fixed time, and lasts longer. These women are mostly around 40 to 45 years old, slightly older than those with physiological pain. The pain is limited to the breast and is relatively shallow.

2. Pain caused by increased pressure

Mental state can also affect hormone secretion and menstruation, leading to conditions such as breast hyperplasia. When you are too busy at work and under too much pressure, you will not only experience menstrual disorders but also breast pain.

3. Chest pain caused by mastitis

This pain is very obvious and unbearable, and is accompanied by redness, swelling and heat. It mostly occurs in primiparas within 1 to 2 months after delivery. It can be pain caused by inflammation and infection due to milk stasis and blockage, or it can be pain caused by bacterial infection due to nipple cracks.

4. Chest pain caused by cervical spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis can cause chest pain, which is due to cervical vertebrae degeneration and involvement of cervical nerve roots. This pain is often chronic and unilateral. The degree of pain is often related to the position of the neck. In addition to breast tenderness, there is also tenderness in the pectoralis major muscle, as well as pain and discomfort in the neck, occipital bone, shoulders and arms. X-rays often show signs of degenerative changes, but there are no abnormalities in the breast itself.

2. What to do if your chest hurts

1. Change your eating habits

Don't always eat greasy and high-fat food. You should change this eating habit and eat more low-fat food, such as vegetables, rice, etc.

2. Massage your breasts regularly

Gently massaging the breasts can help return excess body fluid to the lymphatic system. When massaging, first apply soapy liquid to the breast, and rotate your fingers along the surface of the breast in a circle about the size of a coin. Then use your hands to press the breasts in and bounce them up, which is extremely helpful in preventing breast discomfort.

3. Wear a secure bra

In addition to preventing breast sagging, the more important function of a bra is to prevent further compression of the already compressed breast nerves and eliminate discomfort. Careful sisters will find that those jogging athletes wear stable bras for this health reason.
