What causes breast pain?

Breast pain in women is very common. Sometimes it is caused by menstruation, but some women often experience breast pain. They should be alert to some breast diseases, a common one being breast hyperplasia. Therefore, women should regularly undergo breast disease screening, which is the greatest responsibility they can take for themselves.

1. If breast pain is paroxysmal, and often begins before menstruation or worsens before menstruation, and is relieved or disappears after menstruation, and the pain is distending or stabbing, and sometimes involves the armpit or shoulder and back on the same side, and there is mild to moderate tenderness locally, then it is considered to be a proliferative lesion.

2. If your nipples are severely painful, broken or cracked during breastfeeding, it may be caused by the baby sucking and biting the nipples, resulting in nipple fissures. If the breast pain is only mild dull pain or aching pain, the onset has no obvious regularity, and is only sporadic or paroxysmal, and some are persistent, it is often ignored because the pain is not obvious. It should be noted that such breast pain may also be a signal of early breast malignant disease and should be given sufficient attention.

3. Sometimes, there is no obvious pain in the breast, but only pain in one armpit or shoulder and back, which may be a malignant lesion. These subtle changes should not be easily ignored. If there is severe, persistent, burning pain in the breast that progressively worsens and is difficult to relieve on its own, and is accompanied by ulceration and necrosis of the local tumor or ulceration of the surgical wound and surrounding skin, it is breast pain in the late stage of malignant disease.

In addition to the above-mentioned causes of breast pain, some women also experience breast pain when their breasts are swollen. This is a physiological condition and should be distinguished from breast pain caused by disease.

How about it? After listening to the above introduction, you should now know a little about what causes breast pain. So if you also have breast pain, you must not ignore it and must go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination!
