Premenstrual breast pain?
Many women have symptoms such as breast fullness, stiffness and tenderness before menstrual cramps. In severe cases, the breast will be swollen and painful if it shakes or collides slightly. This is due to the increase of estrogen level in premenstrual period, mammary gland hyperplasia and tissue edema. After menstruation, these changes can disappear.
Breast pain during pregnancy:
Some women are pregnant for about 40 days, and the placenta and villi secrete a lot of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, which leads to breast enlargement and breast pain, which can last for the whole pregnancy.
Postpartum breast pain:
3 ~ 7 days after delivery, breast fullness, induration and pain often occur, which are mainly caused by lymphatic retention, venous filling, interstitial edema and poor mammary duct.
Breast pain after induced abortion:
After induced abortion, some women complained of breast swelling and pain, and they could feel the lump. This is because the pregnancy is suddenly interrupted, and the hormone level in the body suddenly drops, so that the changes in the breast suddenly stop, causing breast lumps and breast pain.
Breast pain after sexual life:
This is related to the physiological changes of breasts during sexual life. People with indifferent sexual desire or disharmony in sexual life will not easily or completely eliminate breast congestion and swelling, and persistent congestion will cause breast pain.

However, if there is swelling pain that has not been relieved for a long time, or even more and more serious pain, or a lump with uneven edge and poor mobility is found when touching the breast, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
