What causes breast pain during lactation?

Many women experience needle-like pain in their breasts during lactation. This is abnormal and means that there is a disease in their breasts. Therefore, many women who experience this situation must pay attention to it. The following content introduces the reasons for this situation in detail, and you can fully understand it.

This is because there are some milk plugs and milk stains in the ducts on the edge of the breast. These things are generally accumulated in the mammary ducts. The pain is mild when the breasts are full, and the baby will feel pain when feeding or after feeding. It is usually accompanied by poor milk drainage (blocked mammary ducts) and insufficient milk. The reason is that people drink too much pig trotter soup, and the collagen in the pig trotter cannot be absorbed by the human body, which blocks the marginal mammary ducts. Another reason is that excessive intake of fat, protein and sugar causes the milk to become viscous and poor drainage, resulting in the deposition of fat and protein in the mammary ducts, forming milk plugs and milk stains. It is recommended that new mothers drink more water, eat less greasy and high-sugar foods, eat more vegetables, and get enough rest.

Diagnostic Methods

1. Mammary gland X-ray examination: Mammary gland X-ray examination is an important method for diagnosing breast hyperplasia, but it is not necessary to check repeatedly in a short period of time, especially during adolescence, pregnancy and lactation, when the breasts are sensitive to X-rays. Excessive exposure will increase the incidence of breast cancer. Generally, you should have a mammography examination at least once before the age of 30, every 2-3 years between the ages of 30 and 40, and once every 1-2 years after the age of 40. The examination of microcalcification is unmatched by other imaging examinations.

2. Breast MRI examination: Breast MRI examination has high sensitivity and medium specificity, and is of great significance for the diagnosis of breast hyperplasia. Because of its relatively high price, long inspection time, and relatively small and closed space, it is not yet popular. It has great advantages in the treatment of small breast cancers that are negative in breast X-ray and ultrasound examinations, postoperative follow-up, examination of breast prosthesis implants or breast augmentation injections, nipple discharge, and screening of high-risk groups. This is also an important diagnostic method for breast hyperplasia.
