What disease is related to the slight pain in the breast?

Women often have random thoughts because of dull breast pain. Occasional breast pain is not only confusing, but also makes them worry about various cancers. If the breasts often experience dull pain, it should be considered as physiological pain. Generally, it occurs before and after menstruation. Pathological pain will cause tingling and pain when pressed. These should be considered as inflammation or cysts, and should be checked and treated in time.

Breast pain types

Breast disease = breast cancer? Female compatriots seem to be very sensitive to these words, especially those who suffer from breast pain from time to time. Experts point out that pain can be divided into several types. Some are physiological pains and there is no need to be too nervous, while some pathological pains should be taken seriously and medical treatment should be sought in time.

Don't worry too much about physical pain

Physiological breast pain is often related to menstruation, and breast tenderness about a week before menstruation is considered normal.

Breast pain during adolescence: The breasts of girls aged 9 to 13 begin to develop, and dome-shaped nodules the size of peas or beans appear in the breast tissue under the nipples, which cause slight pain. After menarche, it will disappear on its own as the breasts mature during puberty.

Menstrual breast tenderness: It is the most common type of breast pain, accounting for about 65% of all breast pain, with an average age of occurrence of 35 years. The pain usually occurs or worsens 3 to 7 days before menstruation and gradually disappears or eases after menstruation. The severity of the pain varies from month to month, and is often felt as a heaviness, distension, dull pain, or occasional brief tingling sensation. There are also tender breast nodules, which are aggravated by pressure, movement or lifting objects.

Breast tenderness during pregnancy: Some expectant mothers experience breast tenderness around 40 days after pregnancy because the placenta and villi secrete large amounts of estrogen and progesterone, which enlarge their breasts. In severe cases, the pain may last throughout the pregnancy and usually does not require treatment.

Postpartum breast tenderness: Breast fullness, hardness and pain often occur 3 to 7 days after delivery. This is mainly due to the effects of prolactin, venous filling, interstitial edema and milk filling. Therefore, mothers should breastfeed as early as possible. If there is a lump, you can apply hot compress and massage the lump before breastfeeding, or you can use a breast pump to extract milk to promote the patency of the mammary ducts.
