For women who are overly obese, reducing weight will help relieve breast swelling and pain.
2. Regular genetic testing.
Studies have shown that the causes of breast cancer in young women (20-35 years old) are mostly related to mutations of a susceptibility gene. People who carry this gene can be divided into two categories: those who have German-Jewish ancestry and those who have a family history of both breast cancer and ovarian cancer. If you are one of the above two categories, then you should consult with the relevant institutions to have a breast cancer susceptibility gene test.
3. Massage your breasts frequently.
Gently massaging your breasts can make the excess body fluid return to the lymphatic system again. To massage, first apply soap solution to the breasts and rotate your fingers along the surface of the breasts, about a coin-sized circle. Then use your hands to press the breasts in and then pop them up again, which is extremely beneficial in preventing breast discomfort.

Adopt a low-fat, high-fiber diet and consume fiber from cereals (whole grains), vegetables and legumes.
5, eat more vegetables.

Adding cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower and kale, to your recipes is an effective way to prevent breast cancer. The lycopene contained in these vegetables can inhibit the replication of cancer cells in the body. The prevention effect can be doubled by eating these vegetables raw.

The diet should be rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B complex food. These vitamins help regulate the production of prostaglandin E. Also, eat less margarine, because the hydrogenated fat in it interferes with the body’s ability to convert essential fatty acids (from food) into Y-linoleic acid (GIA), which contributes to the formation of prostaglandin E and thus inhibits the production of prolactin.
8. Stay away from coffee.

However, according to medical surveys, many women with breast pain and other benign symptoms have experienced significant improvement in their symptoms after quitting caffeine. Therefore, you have to give up coffee completely, that is, to soda, chocolate, ice cream, tea, and caffeine-containing painkillers, etc. completely dead.

Castor oil contains a substance that can enhance the function of T11 lymphocytes, which can accelerate the recovery of various infections and remove pain. The method is: put castor oil drops on a cotton cloth folded into four layers, so that it is covered with castor oil, but do not be too wet, so as not to drip around. Apply this cloth to the breast, cover with a layer of plastic wrap, and then place a hot pack on it. Adjust the hot compress to a heat level you can tolerate and leave it on for one hour.
12. Avoid diuretics.
Diuretics do help discharge fluid from the body and can reduce breast swelling. But this immediate relief comes at a price. Excessive use of diuretics can lead to loss of potassium, disrupt the balance of electrolytes, and affect the formation of glucose.
13, do not abuse drugs.
Some people take anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics indiscriminately to stop breast pain, which is wrong and dangerous, because breast pain can not use local steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.
