What is the reason for pain around the breast

People often develop diseases due to various reasons. Sometimes it is an allergic reaction to external stimuli, and sometimes it is due to problems with various organs inside the body. Of course, this also has something to do with one's physical condition. Some women feel pain around their breasts, and should first consider whether it is caused by abnormal secretion of menstrual hormones. Let's take a look at what causes pain around the breast.

In real life, many women ignore breast pain due to "shyness" or the thought that "it will pass if I endure it", and only regret it when it develops into breast cancer. In particular, pain on the outer side of women's breasts is closely related to many breast diseases, so it must attract women's attention.

1. Mastitis

The initial symptoms of mastitis are pain on the outside of the breast, which may be accompanied by redness, swelling, heat and pain, and some people may also have a fever.

2. Breast pain during puberty

Generally speaking, little girls will feel a slight swelling and pain after their breasts begin to develop, and this pain usually disappears automatically after menstruation comes.

3. Premenstrual pain

Studies have found that about one-third of women experience breast tenderness and discomfort before their period, and some even have granular nodules. In fact, this is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body. If the estrogen level in the body continues to increase, it may eventually cause breast hyperplasia, edema of the breast tissue, etc., so it should not be underestimated. If it is premenstrual bloating and pain, it will usually end after the menstruation ends.

Premenstrual pain can be divided into many different stages. For example, when a woman reaches pregnancy, the changes in estrogen in the body and the huge increase in breast size can also cause breast pain. Generally speaking, breast pain during pregnancy does not require special treatment.

A small number of women may experience breast tenderness and occasional lumps after abortion. This is because the sudden end of pregnancy causes a sudden drop in hormones in the body, and the newly developed mammary glands stop developing again, causing temporary breast pain.

4. Mastodynia

The pathogenesis of mastalgia is the same as that of primary dysmenorrhea. Its main feature is that the pain in the two breasts is different, and it may even radiate to other parts around the breasts. Mastodynia is closely related to abnormal secretion of sex hormones and autonomic nervous system.
