Pain on the upper right side of the chest in women

If a woman experiences pain on the upper right side of her chest, it is very likely that she is suffering from breast hyperplasia. The incidence of this breast disease is relatively high, and pain is a typical feature. However, it is difficult to determine whether breast hyperplasia is caused by breast pain alone. Therefore, we must first understand the situation of breast hyperplasia and make a comprehensive judgment based on our own situation to determine the cause.

There are different characteristics in different age groups. The main symptoms of unmarried women, married women without children, and women who have not yet breastfed are breast swelling and pain, which can affect both sides at the same time, but are usually more severe on one side. There is obvious breast pain before menstruation, which is relieved and gradually stops after menstruation. The pain reappears before the next menstruation. The whole breast has a diffuse nodular feeling and is accompanied by tenderness. The main symptoms for women after the age of 35 are breast lumps, with mild breast pain and tenderness that are not related to the menstrual cycle. When you touch the breast with your hands, you can feel nodules of varying sizes, oblate or irregular shapes, and flexible textures. The boundaries are unclear, and there is no adhesion to the skin and deep tissues. The nodules can be pushed.

diagnosis

The clinical manifestations of fibrocystic breast disease are non-specific. Many benign and malignant breast diseases can cause breast pain and breast nodules, so differential diagnosis is very important. Cystomatous breast disease may be complicated by breast tumors, including breast cancer. Therefore, the diagnosis of breast hyperplasia should first exclude benign and malignant breast tumors.

1. Establish a good lifestyle, adjust your life rhythm, and keep a good mood. Adhere to physical exercise, actively participate in social activities, and avoid and reduce mental and psychological stress factors.

2. Learn and master the method of breast self-examination, and develop the habit of breast self-examination once a month. The best time to do a breast self-examination is after menstruation or between two menstrual periods. At this time, the breasts are softer, without swelling or pain, and it is easier to detect abnormalities. Postmenopausal women can choose to do a breast self-examination at a fixed time each month. If you find any abnormalities or signs that are different from the past during self-examination, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

3. Actively participate in breast cancer screening or breast examination once a year.
