Breast tenderness during adolescence: usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13, and the tenderness and pain will disappear on its own after menarche.

For those with an disharmonious sexual life, the breasts will become congested and swollen, and the swelling will not subside easily. Continuous congestion will cause breast tenderness. Breast tenderness before menstruation: Some women will experience swollen, hardened, and tender breasts before menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts may vibrate slightly or feel swollen and painful when touched. Before menstruation, the estrogen level in women's bodies increases, causing edema in the breast tissue. These changes disappear after your period starts. Breast pain after abortion: Abortion is the artificial termination of pregnancy. The sudden drop in hormone levels in the body causes the newly developed breasts to suddenly stop growing, leading to breast lumps and breast pain.

Breast pain during pregnancy: When a woman is about 40 days pregnant, the placenta and villi secrete a large amount of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin, which causes the mammary glands to enlarge, causing breast pain.

Women often experience breast swelling, hardening and pain 3 to 7 days after delivery. This is mainly due to breast lymph retention, venous congestion, interstitial edema and obstruction of mammary ducts.
