Breasts are sore but tender

Some women may feel pain on both sides of their breasts, but they are soft when touched and no lumps or masses are found, so they do not take it seriously. In fact, this may be caused by breast hyperplasia. If this pain only occurs before and after menstruation, it often means that it is only physiological. However, if it is frequent pain, it should be taken seriously because it may be a pathological manifestation and you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

What is breast hyperplasia

Fibrocystic breast disease is the most common breast disease, also known as cystic breast hyperplasia. Including breast pain, lobular hyperplasia of the breast, fibroadenosis, and fibrosing hyperplasia. It is a common benign lesion of the breast.

1. Negative mental factors such as excessive mental tension and excessive emotional excitement may cause the breast hyperplasia tissue that should have recovered to fail to recover or to recover incompletely. Over time, breast hyperplasia will form.

2. Multiple abortions can easily lead to breast hyperplasia.

3. Breast structure disorder caused by absolute or relative increase in estrogen and absolute or relative decrease in progesterone.

4. Long-term use of health products and contraceptives containing estrogen may also cause breast hyperplasia.

5. Underwear "squeezes cleavage". In the eyes of many women, underwear is just a decoration, and its task is to shape perfect breast shape and sexy cleavage. In fact, this is not the case. Underwear is also the best protector of the breast. If it is fastened too tightly, it will inevitably cause blockage of breast circulation, poor blood flow, inability to eliminate toxins, and inability to deliver nutrients in time, making the hyperplasia phenomenon "more and more serious."

6. Like to eat animal protein foods, such as fish, shrimp, crab, etc. Excessive intake of animal protein can cause excessive estrogen and lead to breast hyperplasia.

7. Estrogen health products. In order to maintain a good appearance and figure, many mothers refuse to let their babies enjoy breast milk after giving birth and secretly choose some health products containing estrogen. Because most health products contain estrogen, but when the estrogen content in the body is too high, it will accelerate breast hyperplasia.

Symptoms of breast hyperplasia

The main symptoms of patients with breast hyperplasia are breast pain and lumps, which usually worsen before menstruation or when emotions change, and improve after menstruation. The size and texture of breast lumps change cyclically with menstruation. The lumps increase in size and become harder before menstruation, and decrease in size and become tough but not hard after menstruation. The lumps feel like nodules of varying sizes, with unclear boundaries from surrounding tissues.

4. Frequent pain caused by breast hyperplasia should not be taken lightly

In a small number of cases of breast hyperplasia that persists for a long time and does not heal, benign breast tumors or malignant lesions may occur. Experts remind patients with breast hyperplasia that they must go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment if the following three situations occur:

1. The pain from breast hyperplasia has affected normal life or work.

2. The pain lasts for a long time, more than 3 months, or the pain symptoms have not disappeared 10 days after menstruation.

3. If you lie flat and press with the four fingers except the thumb, you can feel a lump with a tingling and dull pain, which has no obvious connection with the menstrual cycle and emotions.
