What is causing the pain in my left breast?

Today I want to talk about a common problem among our female compatriots. Women sometimes experience breast pain, especially during menstruation. Generally speaking, breast pain during menstruation is normal, and this pain usually disappears after menstruation. However, some people experience swelling and pain in the left breast, especially. What is the reason for this? How to deal with it? Today, the editor will focus on these two main issues for you.

Causes of breast tenderness

1. Breast pain during adolescence: The first type of breast pain usually occurs in women between the ages of 9 and 13. After menarche, the pain will disappear on its own.

2. Premenstrual breast pain: Many women experience premenstrual breast pain. In severe cases, the breasts will feel swollen and painful with just the slightest vibration or collision. It is mainly because the estrogen level in the body increases before menstruation, which causes the interbreast tissue. This breast tenderness will gradually disappear after menstruation comes.

3. Breast pain during pregnancy: During pregnancy, the placenta and villi secrete a large amount of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin, which causes the mammary glands to enlarge and cause breast pain. In severe cases, it can last throughout the entire pregnancy. This kind of breast pain is normal and does not require treatment.

4. Postpartum breast pain: Postpartum breast pain is caused by mammary lymph retention, venous distension, interstitial edema and obstruction of mammary ducts. It usually occurs 3 to 7 days after delivery.

6. Breast pain after sexual intercourse: Some women may also experience breast pain after sexual intercourse, which is mainly related to the physiological changes in the breasts during sexual intercourse. Women do not need to worry about breast pain in this situation. If the pain does not ease for a long time, or even becomes more severe, or if when touching the breast, a lump with unevenness, unclear edges, and poor mobility is found, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

After the above analysis by the editor, I believe everyone has a general understanding of the problem of swelling and pain in the left breast. So ladies, please pay attention to the above suggestions from the editor. In addition, you should do some proper massage at night or when taking a bath, which will relieve the problem of breast swelling and pain. And as long as the body is free of pain, the mood will be good.
