Is pain on the outside of the breast caused by breast hyperplasia?

Some women may experience pain on the outside of the breast during a certain period of time. The pain usually intensifies before menstruation. This phenomenon is mostly caused by endocrine disorders and breast hyperplasia. This disease usually occurs in people over 25 years old and is mostly a normal physiological phenomenon. At this time, the pain on the outside is very strong, which is mainly caused by endocrine disorders inside the breast. Hyperplasia also has the following symptoms.

1. Breast pain: It is often characterized by distending pain or stabbing pain, which may affect one or both breasts, with one side being more severe. Those with severe pain cannot touch the breast, and may even affect their daily life and work. The pain may radiate to the ipsilateral armpit or shoulder and back; some may manifest as nipple pain or itching. Breast pain often occurs or worsens a few days before menstruation and is significantly relieved or disappears after menstruation. The pain may also fluctuate with mood changes, fatigue, and weather changes. This pain related to the menstrual cycle and emotional changes is the main feature of the clinical manifestations of hyperplasia of the breast.

2. Breast lumps: Lumps can occur in one or both breasts, single or multiple, and are generally found in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. It appears as flakes, nodules, cords, etc. of varying sizes, among which flakes are the most common. The border is not obvious, the texture is medium or slightly hard, there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissues, and there is often tenderness. Most breast lumps also change with the menstrual cycle. The lumps become larger and harder before menstruation, and shrink and soften after menstruation.

Through the above analysis, we should have a certain understanding of some symptoms of breast hyperplasia. When patients experience pain on the outside of the breast, they should try to go to the hospital in time for some breast B-ultrasound examinations, eat less irritating food, and pay attention to rest during menstruation.
