What causes breast pain in girls?

Girls who always feel pain in their breasts need to have a detailed gynecological examination. This is mostly a symptom caused by breast disease, and many times it is caused by pathological reasons. In this case, it can only be treated by confirming the cause of the disease. Once it is confirmed as breast hyperplasia, it will take a long time to treat. Patients must be confident in the treatment and actively cooperate with the treatment.

Common causes of chest pain include the following:

1. Chest wall disease

Acute dermatitis, subcutaneous cellulitis, herpes zoster, epidemic chest pain, myositis, non-suppurative costochondritis, intercostal neuritis, rib fracture, acute leukemia, multiple myeloma, etc.

2. Cardiovascular disease

Angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, acute pericarditis, mitral valve or aortic valve disease, aortic aneurysm, rupture of aortic sinus aneurysm, dissecting aneurysm, pulmonary infarction: pulmonary hypertension and cardiac neurosis, etc.

3. Respiratory diseases

Pleurisy, pleural tumors, spontaneous pneumothorax, pneumonia, acute tracheobronchitis, lung cancer, etc.

4. Mediastinal disease

Mediastinitis, mediastinal abscess, mediastinal tumor, esophagitis, hiatal hernia, esophageal cancer, etc.

5. Others

Subphrenic abscess, liver abscess, splenic infarction, etc.

Inflammation of the chest wall skin causes changes such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain on the affected skin. Shingles presents as a cluster of small blisters that are distributed along the nerves, do not cross the midline, and are obviously painful. Epidemic myalgia may cause severe pain in the chest and abdominal muscles, which may radiate to the shoulders and neck. Non-suppurative myochondritis often invades the first and second costal cartilages. The affected area is raised and painful, but the skin is usually not red or swollen. The pain of angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction is often located behind the sternum or in front of the heart. The pain caused by esophageal diseases, diaphragmatic hernia, and mediastinal tumors is also located behind the sternum. Spontaneous pneumothorax, acute pleurisy, pulmonary infarction, etc. often present with severe chest pain on the affected side.

Angina pectoris is often triggered by exertion or mental stress and is paroxysmal. It can be quickly relieved by taking sublingual nitroglycerin tablets. Myocardial infarction often presents with persistent severe pain that is not relieved even by taking sublingual nitroglycerin tablets. Chest pain caused by cardiac neurosis is often improved by exercise. Chest pain in pleurisy, spontaneous pneumothorax, and pericarditis is often aggravated by coughing or deep breathing. Hyperventilation syndrome can relieve chest pain by breathing back into a paper bag.

Chest pain may be accompanied by symptoms such as cough, dysphagia, hemoptysis, and dyspnea.
