Hidden pain above the breast may be due to factors such as high estrogen level, trauma, acute mastitis, cystic hyperplasia of the breast and breast cancer.
1. During puberty and pregnancy, women may have vague pain in the upper part of the breasts due to high estrogen level, which promotes the development of milk ducts; during breastfeeding, women may have vague pain in the upper part of the breasts due to the clogging of milk ducts caused by excessive milk secretion, which results in an increase in pressure on the breasts.
2. Trauma: The upper part of the breast is squeezed, abraded, needled, burned and other traumatic injuries lead to local skin and subcutaneous tissue damage, so the upper part of the breast is hidden pain.
3. Acute mastitis: Breastfeeding women have acute inflammatory lesions in the breast due to nipple breakage, bacterial infection, etc. Inflammatory exudation increases, so there will be hidden pain above the breast.
4. Breast cystic hyperplasia: excessive proliferation of breast glandular ducts and glandular epithelial tissue leads to the expansion of breast lobules and ducts to form cysts, which can lead to the formation of breast lumps and slight pain.
5. Breast cancer: cancerous proliferation of breast epithelial cells causes the formation of breast lumps, nipple discharge, vague pain in the breast and other symptoms.
Hidden pain over the breast may also be related to extra-mammary diseases, such as pleurisy, herpes zoster and other factors, and it is recommended to consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis.
