What is breast enlargement?

Breast enlargement is a normal development for adolescent girls, but for adult women, if they find that their breasts suddenly enlarge, they should be careful, because this may be a warning sign of disease.

Generally speaking, breast enlargement should be a good thing for women, but some conditions may not be as healthy as just enlargement. There are many reasons that can cause breast enlargement in women, and disease is one of them. Therefore, adult women should be vigilant if their breasts suddenly become larger. Next, let’s discuss what causes breast enlargement.

What are the causes of breast enlargement?

1. Your breasts will enlarge when you have some diseases.

Some gynecological diseases in women, such as uterine ovary, uterine or breast hyperplasia, can cause breast enlargement. In severe cases, it may cause macromastia. Therefore, if your breasts are enlarged, don't be too happy. It's best to go to the hospital for a physical examination to find out if it's caused by a disease. Detect the problem as early as possible, seek treatment as soon as possible, and keep your body healthy.

Adult women's breasts suddenly enlarged should be alert to breast cancer

a. A lump or mass in the breast that is not painful or red is found.

b. The nipple is pulled up, and ulcers occur on the nipple or at the nipple location.

c. Repeated and persistent nipple discharge. To put it simply, nipple discharge refers to the situation where the nipple naturally discharges fluid outside of breastfeeding.

d. A lump under the armpit, especially swollen lymph nodes under one armpit.

e. Women over 30 may experience rapid breast enlargement within a few weeks, accompanied by redness and itching of the skin.

It is recommended that women over 35 years old have a breast ultrasound examination once a year. In addition, the risk of breast cancer for women with a first-degree direct family history of breast cancer is 2 to 3 times that of the normal group. Also have regular checkups.

2. Breasts will enlarge after sexual excitement

During sexual stimulation, women's nipple smooth muscle fibers will involuntarily contract and harden, becoming more and more round; the nipple is significantly hematoma, the breast is swollen, the volume is significantly increased, and the surface veins of the breast are enlarged. When the breasts are swollen, the vagina is moist enough and ready for sexual intercourse. When the sexual impulse dissipates, nipple hematoma and nipple erection quickly subside, and the enlarged breasts and the enlarged submammary veins slowly recover. So will the breasts become bigger if you touch them too much?

3. Breasts will enlarge before menstruation

Premenstrual breast enlargement is a normal phenomenon. When a woman is about to have her period, the level of estrogen in her body will increase significantly. At this time, the mammary glands will proliferate and the tissues will become edematous. Therefore, women will feel chest pain and their breasts will seem to become larger. This phenomenon is actually normal. Almost all women experience breast discomfort before menstruation. This feeling can be improved with some self-adjustment.

If this is the case, it will recover after the menstrual period, and you can also eat some foods that can regulate endocrine and improve the problem of excessive estrogen.
