With the accelerated pace of life and increased work pressure, more and more women are suffering from breast diseases, which makes many women anxious. In the process of outpatient consultation, I also found that many women are visiting the clinic for the reason of “breast pain and swelling”. How to face it rationally? I will take you to learn together. Pain and discomfort in the breast can be medically classified as physiological and pathological, and as the pace of life accelerates and the pressure of life increases, the former is becoming more and more of a major factor. Several common types are described as follows: a. Adolescent breast pain: the earliest breast pain in girls, generally occurring at the age of 9 to 13, when girls begin to develop breasts, and some begin to have the first menstruation or irregular menstruation, with a slight feeling of swelling and pain. After the menarche, with the maturation of the breast development during puberty will disappear on its own, generally do not worry too much. Second, premenstrual breast pain: there are many women before the onset of menstruation have breast fullness, hardness, pressure pain; heavy breasts by a slight shock or collision can be unbearable pain, in the words of some female friends like “pins and needles”, some people may affect the activities of the upper limbs, the breast may be touched “. Lumps” may be palpable in the breast. This is due to increased hormone levels in the premenstrual period and incomplete breast enlargement and rejuvenation. With the menstrual period, the above symptoms will generally gradually alleviate, such cases generally do physical therapy, hot compresses and other effects will be very obvious. Some friends, breast pain and menstruation is not very obvious, usually heavier symptoms, can be radiated to the armpits, shoulders and back, the hand can touch the breast can touch the size of the hard lumps, the edges are not clear, because they can touch the “thickened gland”, often and feel worried, it is recommended that these friends take some Chinese medicine to relieve the symptoms, because such pain often affects you. Because such pain often affects your life and work, as a last resort, it is recommended not to take western drugs such as Tamoxifen, which is anti-estrogenic and often brings more side effects while the symptoms are relieved. Third, breast pain during pregnancy: breast swelling and pain after pregnancy, which is caused by the secretion of a large amount of estrogen and progesterone in the body, resulting in the proliferation of mammary glands and duct expansion. It is generally physiological pain, which is in preparation for breastfeeding. It is recommended to replace the wide bras in time to hold up the breasts and reduce the symptoms. Fourth, postpartum breast pain: most of the postpartum breast pain is mastitis, in addition to breast swelling and pain, but also fever and the emergence of local hard lumps in the breast, which is mainly due to the blockage of the milk ducts, milk stagnation. In this case, as we have mentioned in the previous section, it is necessary to seek medical attention and apply antibiotics if necessary to avoid the formation of breast abscesses. Most of the breast pain is caused by benign lesions, while a few of them are caused by malignant lesions. Here, we remind you that when breast pain persists and the pain area is fixed, you should pay high attention to it and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Breast pain is mostly caused by physiological changes in the breast or benign breast diseases, but postmenopausal women should be alerted to the presence of breast pain. However, postmenopausal women with breast pain should be alerted because there is no more cyclical physiological breast pain in this age group, and breast cancer is more likely to occur in this age group, so it is important to go to the hospital for mammography and mammography to rule out or clarify the diagnosis of breast cancer.
