Why do I have pain on both sides of my breasts? What are the health risks of breast pain?

Breasts are the foundation of women. Having healthy and plump breasts is a woman's happiness. However, many women experience breast discomfort, pain and other symptoms before and after their menstrual period. Breast health problems cannot be ignored. The internal structure of the breast is very complex, which can cause breast diseases and endanger physical health. So what is the reason for pain on both sides of the breast?

1. Cyclic breast pain: It is related to the menstrual cycle and reflects the cyclical changes in hormones in the body. This pain is normal to a large extent and mainly occurs in premenopausal women, especially before the age of 35. This condition is generally cyclical pain caused by breast hyperplasia.

2. Non-cyclical breast pain: Compared with cyclical breast pain, non-cyclical breast pain is more worthy of attention. But most non-cyclical breast pain is also benign. Its characteristics include intermittent onset, variable pain intensity, mostly unilateral occurrence, and sharp nature. Patients need to pay attention to this situation. The real "murderer" of breast pain and tingling - breast hyperplasia

Most breast pain and tingling are caused by breast diseases. Experts remind people to be alert to breast hyperplasia when breast pain occurs. The main symptoms of breast hyperplasia are breast pain and breast lumps:

1. Breast pain: It is often characterized by distending pain or stabbing pain, which may affect one or both breasts, with one side being more severe. Those with severe pain cannot touch the breast, and may even have an impact on their daily life and work. The pain is mainly in the breast lump, and may also radiate to the affected armpit, chest, flank, shoulder and back; some people experience nipple pain or itching. Breast pain often occurs or worsens a few days before menstruation, and the pain is significantly reduced or disappears after menstruation; the pain may also fluctuate with mood changes.

This pain related to the menstrual cycle and emotional changes is the main feature of the clinical manifestations of hyperplasia of the breast.

2. Breast lumps: Lumps can occur in one or both breasts, single or multiple, often in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, but can also be seen in other quadrants. The shapes of the lumps include flake-shaped, nodular-shaped, cord-shaped, granular-shaped, etc., among which the flake-shaped is the most common. The lump has unclear boundaries, is of medium or slightly hard texture, has good mobility, has no adhesion to surrounding tissues, and is often tender. The lumps vary in size, with small ones being as big as millet grains and large ones exceeding 3 to 4 cm. Breast lumps also change with the menstrual cycle. The lumps become larger and harder before menstruation, and shrink and soften after menstruation.
