At different times, due to various factors, women may experience different degrees of breast pain. However, some people do not think about it at all and just put up with it; others, however, may be overly anxious and worry about cancer on their bodies. In fact, the factors that cause breast pain are classified as physiological and pathological, and may even be due to factors other than the breast, such as cervical spondylosis (more on this below). Therefore, the treatment may be decidedly different for different causes. In most cases, occasional breast pain, which is caused by physiological or benign disease disorders, can be relieved by timely mental relaxation, dietary modification and appropriate pharmacological intervention. Occasional breast pain, do not need to worry excessively, but also can not be completely ignored. Women love themselves, from the rational drop love breast care. 1, premenstrual pain: 2/3 of women are present About 2/3 of women before the onset of menstruation have double breast pain or discomfort, and after the onset of menstruation pain relief or disappear. If the pain is short (e.g. not more than 1 week) or if the pain level does not affect normal life and work, it is called mild to moderate mastalgia, which is a physiological phenomenon. This is a physiological phenomenon and generally does not require medication. It can be treated by maintaining a cheerful mood and mental relaxation. Severe mastalgia refers to women who feel swelling and stabbing pain when their breasts are subjected to slight vibration, collision or movement, or even at rest, which affects their normal life, work and sleep. For people with severe breast pain, in addition to paying attention to a light diet and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods, they also need to take appropriate vitamin supplements or short-term medication to relieve symptoms in order to cut off the “vicious cycle of pain”. 2, perennial pain: emotional stability is important It is important to note that 1/3 of women have breast pain unrelated to the menstrual cycle, serious cases continue throughout the menstrual cycle, and further aggravated by stress and emotional excitement. Therefore, relieving mental stress and stabilizing emotions are crucial to relieving pain. Also, take certain medication if necessary. 3. Pregnancy pain: a sweet burden Happy mothers-to-be, after 40 days of menopause, will experience breast swelling, and in heavy cases, they may have breast and nipple pain that lasts even throughout pregnancy. This is a physiological phenomenon due to the secretion of a large amount of hormones by the placenta and chorionic villi, making the breasts bigger and ready for breastfeeding. This is also a sweet burden for the mothers-to-be to experience! And with the increase of breasts, timely change to wear a wide bra, avoid bunching chest, keep the mood relaxed can properly relieve the pain. 4, postpartum pain: early breastfeeding 3 days after childbirth, the new mother will double breast swelling, pain, hard nodes, which is mainly due to lymphatic retention in the breast, interstitial edema and breast duct is not smooth. The pain will subside after the milk flows freely for 7 days after childbirth. Breastfeeding as early as possible after childbirth; hot compresses on the breast before breastfeeding and gentle massage to promote the passage of milk and reduce milk stagnation. 5, may also be caused by the ribs Women sometimes complain of pain at a certain point or a fixed location of the breast, intensifying after pressure, which is often a non-specific inflammation of the rib cartilage under the breast caused by “fixed pain”. This pain is often self-limiting and can improve on its own, but after a period of time it may appear again, if the pain is obvious, you can apply topical creams to relieve the pain. 6, cervical spondylosis can also cause breast pain female breast pain, sometimes radiating to the armpits, back of the shoulder, upper limbs. However, if the pain in the back of the shoulders and upper limbs does not ease for a long time, it may be related to cervical spondylosis and not caused by problems with the breast. If this happens, you need a doctor’s discerning eye to find the “real culprit”. 7, mastitis: new mothers need to be most alert to breast pain caused by mastitis, commonly in the 1-2 months after the birth of a new mother. It is often due to the stagnation of milk, accompanied by bacterial infection and the onset of the disease, manifested as hard knots in the breast, high local skin temperature, tenderness, etc.. If an abscess forms, the pain increases and the patient may develop chills, high fever and other systemic symptoms. Therefore, pregnant women should clean the nipples before and after breastfeeding, unclog the milk ducts to prevent milk stagnation, and empty the stored milk with a breast pump. If the above symptoms occur, you should seek medical attention and deal with mastitis by taking antibiotics, or draining pus. 8.Breast cancer: mostly painless, vague or dull pain Involving with cancer can’t help but give people chills. The most common symptom of breast cancer, however, is not pain, but a painless progressively increasing breast lump. However, some breast cancer patients do have breast pain, but its characteristics are different from the pain caused by physiological or benign breast diseases, often manifesting as vague or dull pain, and the attacks are not obvious and only occasional or paroxysmal. Because the pain is not obvious, it is often ignored. Since the symptoms of early breast cancer are not typical, regular checkups are necessary for early detection, early diagnosis and timely treatment. Normal women without any discomfort must generally undergo mammography screening every 1-2 years and high-frequency ultrasound of the breast every six months above the age of 40. Conclusion: Breast is the pride of every woman, please recognize and treat breast pain rationally!
