Breast pain after pregnancy is caused by changes in hormone levels. Throughout the pregnancy, the development of the breasts changes along with the development of the fetus, aiming to adapt to the needs of breastfeeding after childbirth. Generally, breast pain is more severe around the 4th to 6th week of pregnancy. However, the likelihood of breast pain for a woman 10 days after conception is low, although this can vary from person to person. If concerned, it is advisable to visit a hospital for an examination by a specialist.

Is breast pain 8 days before menstruation an early sign of pregnancy?

Breast pain and swelling eight days before menstruation is mostly not a sign of early pregnancy, but a normal physiological phenomenon. The period before menstruation is the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. After ovulation, the ovary forms the corpus luteum, which secretes estrogen and progesterone to maintain the uterine lining. Estrogen stimulates the growth of ductal cells and alveolar cells in the mammary glands, and increases the permeability of local blood vessels, leading to breast enlargement and sometimes pain. This is generally a normal physiological phenomenon and usually returns to normal after menstruation. However, it is also necessary to rule out the possibility of mammary hyperplasia, breast nodules, or even breast tumors.

What's going on with breast swelling and pain and also arm soreness?

Breast swelling and pain, as well as arm soreness, are considered to be caused by mammary gland hyperplasia and accessory breast syndrome. Mammary gland hyperplasia often manifests as cyclical swelling and pain in the breasts, commonly occurring or worsening before menstruation and alleviating or disappearing after menstruation. While mild cases might not be noticed by patients, severe cases can impact daily life and work. However, some patients do not exhibit obvious cyclical changes, and symptoms can include unilateral or bilateral breast swelling and pain, resembling needle pricks, which can extend to the shoulder, upper limbs, or chest and back areas. A few patients might experience nipple discharge, which can be yellow-green, brown, or bloody. The condition can sometimes persist for a long time, with symptoms automatically disappearing or reducing after menopause. When breast swelling and pain occur, it is necessary to regularly recheck the breast with ultrasound and mammography.

How to treat breast pain during lactation?

Breast pain is divided into two types: one is related to menstruation, appearing before each menstrual period, and if the pain disappears when menstruation begins, it tends to be physiological and does not require any medication, only an adjustment of one's mindset to maintain a pleasant mood. If the pain is not related to the menstrual cycle, and persists regardless of the menstrual state, it is advisable to visit a regular hospital to rule out other diseases.

What causes breast pain during menstruation?

The menstrual period is a time when female hormone levels fluctuate, which is the fundamental reason why most women experience breast pain during menstruation. Due to the fluctuation of hormone levels, there is an increase in breast tissue and edema in the interstitial tissue of the breast, ultimately causing the sensation of breast pain. If the breast pain during menstruation does not ease after the period, or if the pain is very severe, or even painful to touch, attention is needed. This is considered pathological breast pain, likely caused by breast disease, and could be related to breast hyperplasia, mastitis, or even breast tumors. It is necessary to consult a professional doctor for a breast diagnosis.

The difference between breast prickling pain and swelling pain.

Breast tingling and soreness are no different; they are both manifestations of breast hyperplasia. The main symptoms of breast hyperplasia include cyclic swelling and pain in the breast, which often appear or worsen before menstruation and diminish or disappear after menstruation. Mild cases may not be noticed by the patient, while severe cases can affect daily life and work. However, some patients do not exhibit obvious cyclical changes, and some may experience soreness in one or both breasts, or needle-like pain, which can extend to the shoulders, upper limbs, or chest and back area. A few patients may have nipple discharge, with the color of the discharge ranging from yellow, brown, or bloody. The duration of the condition can sometimes be lengthy, but symptoms typically alleviate or disappear automatically after menopause.
