Breast pain is a common condition in women of childbearing age and can occur in any age group from post-puberty to pre-menopause, and is especially common in unmarried women, or in married women who have not had children, or in sexually active women who have had children and are not breastfeeding. The peak age of onset of the disease is 30 to 40 years old. 1. Why do I have breast pain? Is it related to mastopexy? The occurrence and development of breast pain is closely related to the endocrine status of the ovaries. A lot of information shows that when the ovarian endocrine disorders, excessive secretion of estrogen and relative reduction of progesterone, not only stimulate the parenchymal hyperplasia of the breast, but also cause irregular hyperplasia of the terminal duct epithelium, resulting in ductal dilatation and cyst formation, as well as excessive hyperplasia and collagenization of the interstitial connective tissue and lymphocytic infiltration due to the loss of the inhibitory effect of progesterone on estrogen. Clinically, 50% of women have mastocytosis, and histologically, 90% of women have poor breast structure. 2.Does menstrual status affect breast pain? The occurrence and development of breast pain are closely related to ovarian endocrine disorders, which may lead to menstrual disorders. What is the risk of breast pain in patients with menstrual disorders? 3, breast pain may be related to what diseases? The breast itself, such as breast enlargement, cysts, inflammation of the breast, chest wall diseases such as costochondritis, as well as thoracic and abdominal organ lesions, but most of them are related to breast diseases. 4.Does breast pain indicate breast cancer? Early stage breast cancer is painless and most often manifests as breast lumps without pain (some of them can be detected only by ultrasound, mammogram or breast MRI; ultrasound is preferred for patients younger than 40 years old in China, and mammogram is required for patients older than 40 years old, and breast MRI is required for special patients), and some of them manifest breast calcification (mammogram can show calcification, just like stones) and watery nipples (most of them are red, dark red or coffee). Most of them are red, dark red, coffee-colored, etc.), nipple indentation, skin depression, skin redness and swelling, etc. However, when the breast cancer is locally advanced and infiltrated into the chest wall may lead to breast pain, but the mass is already obvious by then. 5.What tests should be done for breast pain? Ultrasound is preferred for domestic patients younger than 40 years old, and breast radiographs for patients over 40 years old, and breast MRI for special patients. 6. Can breast pain be cured? Breast pain has obvious periodic and self-limiting characteristics, and does not heal itself. Especially after marriage, pregnancy and breastfeeding symptoms disappear on their own, but sometimes recur; after menopause can be self-healing. 7.How to treat breast pain? Breast pain is self-limiting and belongs to the category of physiological changes, and the symptoms can improve or disappear after marriage, childbirth and breastfeeding. If you do not want to be afraid, it can be cured by itself. If the pain is severe, small doses of sedatives or medication can be given as appropriate. Chinese medicine treatment is mostly used in China. According to the principle of draining liver and Qi to relieve pain, Chinese medicine such as breast fetish elimination tablets, breast knot elimination granules, breast health tablets, etc. can be given as treatment.
Chinese herbal breast shield and breast node elimination paste can also be used externally. For those with obvious symptoms, western medicines such as tamoxifen (triamcinolone) and toremifene (phalloidin) can be used. 8.What can I eat for breast pain? What can’t I eat? Because the occurrence and development of breast pain are closely related to ovarian endocrine disorders, we should try to reduce the factors that lead to ovarian endocrine disorders, such as not staying up late, being calm, drinking less strong tea, coffee and alcohol, and eating less artificially farmed shrimps and crabs and some tonic products.
