The level of estrogen and progesterone in the body decreases after menopause and cannot stimulate the development of mammary ducts and alveoli. If you experience breast tenderness after menopause, you should be alert to the possibility of mastitis. If you experience significant breast tenderness and localized lumps, you should be alert to the possibility of mastitis or abscesses. Some postmenopausal women with breast pain may also have breast enlargement or even breast tumor. If the swelling and pain is obvious, you need to be promptly treated, you can take symptomatic pain medication, and you can also use local hot compresses or gentle massage to relieve the symptoms. After menopause, the estrogen level in women’s bodies will drop rapidly, and a series of uncomfortable symptoms will appear, which need to be self-regulated and can be effectively relieved by a reasonable diet and a combination of work and rest.
