What is the cause of pain in the right breast of women?

Women should pay attention to right breast pain, because many physical reasons may cause pain, such as premenstrual breast pain, breast tenderness during pregnancy, and breast tenderness after childbirth. It is necessary to understand the cause clearly and treat it scientifically.

1. Premenstrual breast pain: Many women experience breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness before menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts will become swollen and painful with the slightest vibration or collision. This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of breast tissue. The above changes may disappear after menstruation.

2. Breast tenderness during pregnancy: Some women experience breast tenderness when they are about 40 days pregnant due to the placenta and villi secreting large amounts of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, which causes the breasts to enlarge and cause breast tenderness. In severe cases, the pain may last throughout the pregnancy and does not require treatment.

3. Postpartum breast pain : Breast fullness, hardness and pain often occur 3 to 7 days after delivery. This is mainly due to breast lymph retention, venous congestion, interstitial edema and obstructed mammary ducts.

4. Breast pain after abortion : This is because the pregnancy is suddenly interrupted, and the hormone level in the body drops suddenly, causing the newly developed breasts to suddenly stop growing, resulting in breast lumps and breast pain.

5. Breast pain after sexual intercourse: This is related to the physiological changes in the breasts during sexual intercourse. People with low libido or disharmonious sex life cannot achieve sexual satisfaction, so breast congestion and swelling are not easy to subside, or they subside incompletely. Continuous congestion will cause breast pain.
