Symptoms of costochondritis in women

In women with costochondritis, the pain is mainly in the anterior part of the chest and is significantly aggravated by coughing and deep breathing, and there is significant pressure on the costochondral area, but there is no significant redness or swelling in the area of pressure. This condition is mainly associated with strain and cold, prolonged ambulatory work, and prolonged cold and cough, which leads to repeated compression and friction of the rib cartilage, resulting in pain caused by sterile inflammatory stimulation. Therefore, after the occurrence of costochondritis, we must pay more attention to keep warm, avoid cold, avoid prolonged ambulatory activities, and can perform more hot compresses on the site of costochondritis to promote the reduction of inflammatory edema to relieve the pain of costochondritis.
