What's wrong with the recent chest pain?

From a clinical perspective, there are many reasons for chest pain, the most common of which include breast pain during puberty and premenstrual period. In addition, breast hyperplasia and edema of interbreast tissue can also cause chest pain. If you want to completely change this phenomenon, you must prevent obesity, change bad eating habits, stay calm, avoid eating too salty foods, and consume low-fat and high-fiber foods.

1. What is the reason for the recent chest pain?

1. Breast pain during adolescence: It usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13. After menarche, the pain will disappear on its own.

2. Premenstrual breast pain: Many women experience breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness before menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts will become swollen and painful with the slightest vibration or collision. This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of breast tissue. The above changes may disappear after menstruation.

2. The real reason for breast pain and tingling

1. Breast pain

This pain is often felt as distension or stabbing pain, and may affect one or both breasts, with pain mainly in one breast. If the pain is severe, the breast cannot be touched, and it may even affect 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

The lumps can occur in one or both breasts, single or multiple, and are more common 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.

How to treat chest pain

1. Prevent obesity

For women who are overweight, losing weight can help relieve breast pain.

2. Change your eating habits

Eat a low-fat, high-fiber diet and consume fiber from whole grains (whole grains), vegetables, and beans.

3. Stay calm

When you are nervous, the adrenaline secreted by the adrenal glands will also interfere with the conversion function of GIA.

4. Avoid eating too salty food

High-salt foods can easily cause breast enlargement, and such foods should be avoided especially 7 to 10 days before menstruation.

5. Eat low-fat and high-fiber foods

In the week before menstruation, try to eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as coarse grains and whole wheat, which can also improve the body's nutritional balance and relieve bloating and pain.
