Why does breast pain occur when running?

Running is the simplest form of exercise and also the most popular form of fitness in the world today. You don’t need to prepare anything for running. All you need is a pair of running shoes and a set of sportswear. You can run and exercise during the day or night. Moreover, running is not only suitable for young men and women, but also for the elderly. However, some women say that they feel breast pain when running. Why is this?

What causes breast pain when running?

Lack of exercise

Because women's breasts will shake with the body during running, people who do not exercise normally will suddenly engage in intense running exercises, and various parts of the body and muscles will temporarily feel uncomfortable. It is normal to experience pain and discomfort.

Produces large amounts of lactic acid

If the intensity of running is too high, a large amount of lactic acid will accumulate in the body, resulting in muscle soreness. The breasts will also be vibrated during running, which may also cause breast soreness.

Muscle strain caused

During running, incorrect running posture, hunching over or running too vigorously may cause the muscles around the breast to be strained, resulting in pain.

Breast enlargement caused

For women with fuller breasts, the breasts will vibrate more as the body shakes when running, and the gravity they are subjected to will also be greater, which may cause pain over time.

Wearing an inappropriate bra

In order to make their breasts look better, some girls like to wear tighter bras. However, when running, the breasts will move up and down and left and right. If the bra is too tight, it may compress the breast tissue and cause breast pain and other discomfort.

Breast disease causes

People with breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia are likely to experience breast pain and other discomfort when running.
