What to do if breast pain occurs on both sides

Breasts are the secondary sexual organs of the female body, playing a symbolic role and being a major feature that distinguishes them from men. In fact, women’s breasts are very delicate organs, especially in an era when breast cancer is prevalent. Therefore, female friends should pay more attention and care to their breasts. So what should you do when your breasts are swollen and painful on both sides? Let’s learn here what the problem may be if you have persistent breast pain.

The causes of breast pain are mostly physiological changes in the breast or benign breast diseases, but breast pain in postmenopausal women should be a cause of concern. Because women of this age will no longer experience periodic physiological breast pain, and this age group is prone to breast cancer, when obvious breast pain occurs, you must go to the hospital for a high-frequency breast X-ray examination to rule out or confirm the diagnosis of breast cancer.

Early examination, early detection and early treatment are the keys to preventing breast cancer. Generally speaking: if you have persistent or throbbing breast pain, severe pain, and obvious tenderness, you should consider acute mastitis.

If there is paroxysmal pain in the breast or nipple, especially the distending pain or stabbing pain before menstruation, or pain pulling the armpits and shoulders and back, accompanied by mild or moderate local tenderness, it is often a benign proliferative disease. Although few patients seek medical treatment in the early stages of malignant breast lesions with breast pain as the main complaint, some patients also have symptoms of dull breast pain, pure pain or stabbing pain. The pain may be occasional, paroxysmal or continuous. However, in the late stages of malignant lesions, especially when accompanied by ulceration, destruction or infection, the pain is continuous and severe burning pain. If clusters of blisters appear on the breast skin in a belt-like distribution and are painful, you should pay attention to herpes zoster Breastis.

The above mentioned the problem of what to do if you have pain on both sides of your breasts. In fact, it seems that breast pain is more harmful to postmenopausal women, because apart from normal physiological pain, the only other pain is pathological. Therefore, especially older female friends should not think that they can relax their attention to their breasts as they get older, as this will cause unnecessary consequences.
