Why is my breast pain caused by my delayed menstruation for three days?

Breast pain is a common breast disease, mainly caused by breast hyperplasia or mastitis. However, if the patient experiences breast pain and delayed menstruation, she should consider whether she is pregnant or has endocrine disorders. Due to the complex physiological structure of women, different manifestations of the disease often indicate the occurrence of some diseases. So let us analyze the causes of delayed menstruation and breast pain below.

The first is late menstruation accompanied by breast pain. Gynecologists say: It is usually normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed by a week, and women do not need to worry; as for breast pain, it is because when women are approaching their menstrual period, the estrogen level increases, which promotes breast development, so they will feel breast pain.

The second type is cessation of menstruation and breast pain. In this case, there is an 80% chance that you are pregnant. If a woman's menstruation has stopped for more than ten days and she experiences symptoms similar to pregnancy, such as breast tenderness, frequent urination, and high body temperature, it is best to go to the pharmacy immediately to buy a pregnancy test stick or early pregnancy test paper to check whether she is pregnant by testing the HCG component in the urine.

The third type is that you may not be pregnant but if you do not have your period, you should consider that it is caused by irregular menstruation. The symptoms of irregular menstruation include abnormalities in menstrual color, menstrual cycle, menstrual volume, etc. The cause should be identified in time and actively treated, as they will affect future fertility.

If menstruation is delayed and breast tenderness is present, excluding the phenomenon of early pregnancy, then it is a major sign of gynecological disease. Because the breast is one of the female reproductive organs, often some disorders of the body's endocrine system will cause abnormal ovarian function, which has a great impact on the breast structure and tissue. Therefore, if any abnormality is found in this type of disease, you should go to a professional hospital for examination and treatment in time.
