What causes chest pain?

1. Breast hyperplasia is one of the causes of chest pain. This pain is usually irregular and has nothing to do with changes in the menstrual cycle. The pain caused by breast hyperplasia usually lasts longer and is more obvious in the shallower parts of the breast.

2. Mastitis can also cause chest pain. The pain caused by mastitis is very intense. Many women find it unbearable. The pain is accompanied by redness and swelling of the breasts. If mastitis occurs after a woman gives birth, it is generally an inflammatory infection caused by milk stasis.

3. If women have too much stress in their lives, it may also cause breast pain. This distension and pain has little to do with breast disease. Women who are under great pressure in life and work may not only experience breast pain, but also irregular menstruation.

4. Cervical spine problems can also cause chest pain. This pain is generally chronic and often only occurs on one side of the chest.

5. Some women also experience breast pain before and after menstruation due to excessive mental stress. This kind of pain is the pain caused by psychological implications.

6. You will feel chest pain in the early stages of pregnancy.

Treatment for chest pain

1. Massage your breasts frequently. Gently massaging your chest can help return excess fluid to the lymphatic system. When massaging, first apply massage lotion on the chest, and then use your fingers to make circles along the surface of the chest. The size of the circle should be about the size of a coin. Then use your hands to press your breasts down and then bounce them up. Doing this kind of massage regularly is very helpful in relieving breast discomfort.

2. Apply hot compress to the chest. Hot compress is a commonly used treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. Alternating between hot and cold compresses has better effects.

3. Self-examination. After showering, stand naked in front of a mirror with your hands on your hips. Look at your chest skin 360 degrees in the mirror to see if there is any abnormality or inverted nipple. Then use four fingers together to slowly press the breast to feel for any lumps. During breast self-examination, the technique should be gentle and do not pinch, otherwise there is a high possibility that normal breast tissue will be mistaken for a lump. Finally, gently squeeze the nipple to check for nipple discharge. When examining your breasts, you should compare both sides. If you find any chest pain, breast lumps, or nipple discharge, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
