Breast pain and nipple pain are experiences that many women have had. Women may experience breast pain and discomfort starting from puberty, especially girls around 23 years old, when their first menstruation comes. At this time, the breasts will slowly begin to develop, resulting in breast pain and discomfort. As girls' bodies mature, this breast pain will eventually disappear on its own, so there is no need to make a fuss about it. There are many reasons for breast tenderness and nipple pain. Please see the introduction below. Nipple pain is completely normal. The pain is most severe around ovulation, and it hurts when you touch it with your hand. The luteal phase is slightly less intense until menstruation occurs. The pain is the worst before and after ovulation. I don’t know if it’s the effect of estrogen. Estrogen levels are highest before and on the day of ovulation. After the corpus luteum is formed, due to the effect of progesterone, estrogen is not as high as before ovulation, so nipple pain is slightly relieved, but it will exist until menstruation comes. Many women experience breast swelling or nipple pain during ovulation, and sometimes the nipples are simply unable to be touched. The breast pain may also continue until the eve of the next menstrual period. If the underwear is too tight or ill-fitting, or you do a lot of exercise, friction may cause local pain. What causes nipple pain? The mammary gland is the target organ of endocrine hormones, which means that under normal circumstances, that is, during endocrine changes in the menstrual cycle, mammary tissue will be affected by endocrine hormones, resulting in physiological changes. The breast will undergo cyclical proliferation and involution during the menstrual cycle, which manifests as fullness and mild pain in the breast before menstruation. The breast pain will be reduced or disappear after menstruation. This physiological change is a normal phenomenon for women of childbearing age, but the degree of breast pain varies from person to person. Some female friends may experience breast pain and discomfort after having an abortion. This is mainly because the pregnancy is suddenly interrupted by the abortion operation, which causes a sudden drop in hormone levels in the body. The newly developed breasts due to pregnancy will suddenly stop developing, and mammary lumps will form in the breasts, which will cause breast pain. This phenomenon will gradually disappear with proper rest. |
