Types of breast pain

Many women often feel breast pain. After a long period of observation and research, medical workers found that there are six main types of female breast pain.

1. Puberty breast pain: generally occurs at 9 ~ 13 years old. After menarche, the pain will disappear by itself.

Second, premenstrual breast pain: Many women have full, hard and tender breasts before menstrual cramps; In severe cases, the breasts will swell and be slightly shaken or collided.

This is due to the increase of estrogen level in premenstrual period, hyperplasia of mammary glands and edema of breast tissue. After menstruation, these changes can disappear.

Third, breast pain during pregnancy: Some women are pregnant for about 40 days, and the placenta and villi secrete a lot of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, which leads to breast enlargement and breast pain, which can last for the whole pregnancy without treatment.

Fourth, postpartum breast pain: 3 to 7 days after delivery, the breast often appears fullness, induration and pain. This is mainly due to lymphatic retention, venous filling, interstitial edema and poor mammary duct.

Five, breast pain after induced abortion: these due to the sudden interruption of pregnancy, the hormone level in the body suddenly dropped, so that the newly developed breast suddenly stopped growing, causing breast lumps and breast pain.

Sixth, breast pain after sexual life: This is related to the physiological changes of the breast during sexual life. People with indifferent sexual desire or disharmony in sexual life will not easily or completely eliminate breast congestion and swelling, and persistent congestion will cause breast pain.

Women don't have to worry at all, but if the pain doesn't relieve for a long time, or even becomes more and more serious, or if you touch your breast and find a lump with uneven edge and poor mobility, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

Let's talk about the more common premenstrual breast pain.

Many women have the experience of breast pain before menstruation, but they often endure this disease and don't go to see a doctor because they think it is a small problem and don't pay attention to it. As a result, the illness recurred. Expert introduction: Breast pain occurs before menstruation, after menstruation is clean or too early after ovulation, and it hurts when wearing underwear or touching. This phenomenon is morbid and prone to gynecological diseases, such as infertility and breast tumors. Premenstrual breast pain is an important early signal of gynecological diseases. Strictly speaking, women's breasts are part of the reproductive system and are greatly influenced by estrogen and progesterone. If the endocrine system or ovarian function of the body is disordered at a certain stage, it will have an impact on menstrual cycle and breast tissue, resulting in a series of pathological changes. The most common and lightest symptom is breast fullness before menstruation. If necessary conditioning or treatment is not given, there will be more discomfort, such as premenstrual headache, irritability, insomnia, even premenstrual pain and mild edema. These symptoms gradually disappear after menstruation, once a month, and appear repeatedly, which is called premenstrual tension syndrome in medicine. If this goes on, mastopathy will be formed, the most common is mammary gland hyperplasia, and menstruation may also be unbalanced, leading to menstrual disorder or amenorrhea, which will eventually lead to infertility.

Chinese medicine has long known this disease. It is considered that breast pain before menstruation is related to liver and kidney imbalance, qi stagnation and blood stasis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breasts govern the stomach meridian and nipples govern the liver meridian. Therefore, all breast diseases or dysplasia or breast atrophy are treated from the liver and stomach. According to different situations, the right medicine will often get good results.
