Here we will introduce why women have intermittent chest pain.

1. Two-thirds of women will experience breast pain and discomfort during menstruation. The entire breast will become hard and there will be a certain tenderness. The original granules or nodules will become more obvious. This is a physiological factor and generally does not require special treatment. You should maintain a happy mood and ensure mental relaxation. If you really feel pain, you can go to the hospital for a doctor's diagnosis and choose medication treatment. In addition, an disharmonious sexual life can also cause breast pain or aggravate existing pain symptoms, so you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. If you find yourself having intermittent chest pain, you can touch the breast to see if there is a lump. If there is no lump, it may be mastalgia, which is similar to the pathogenesis of primary dysmenorrhea. It causes breast pain but no breast lump. The feeling of distension and pain is very obvious and persistent, like a needle or knife cutting. Some people may also experience eye pain. Because the location of the pain is uncertain and the severity is different on both sides, it radiates to the armpits, shoulders, back and upper limbs. In severe cases, you cannot dress and walk normally.

3. Intermittent pain and lumps in the chest may be caused by breast hyperplasia, which can cause varying degrees of breast pain. The locations of the pain and lumps are different. The pain may radiate in the armpits, shoulders and back. The pain may automatically ease or develop into regular paroxysmal pains due to changes in menstruation, mood, weather, and other factors. Lumps of poor mobility, hard texture, and varying sizes may be felt in the breast.

4. 48% of breast cancer patients will experience varying degrees of breast pain or tingling. The pain will gradually worsen and involve the shoulders and back. 13% of breast cancer patients will have early-stage breast pain, and 6% of patients will have breast pain in the early stages. There is only breast pain and no lumps can be felt. In the late stages, severe pain will occur and gradually worsen.

In short, there are many reasons for chest pain. In addition to physiological factors, it may also be pathological factors, such as breast hyperplasia and breast cancer. In addition, 20% of patients with ovarian tumors will have breast diseases, which can cause breast pain.
