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. After being diagnosed with breast hyperplasia, one may take appropriate medications to treat the hyperplasia and maintain a pleasant mood for self-regulation.

What's causing breast swelling, pain, and dizziness?

Breast swelling and pain, dizziness, it may be caused by breast hyperplasia, which can be diagnosed through breast ultrasound or mammography. Breast hyperplasia is mainly related to endocrine disorders in the body, leading to increased levels of estrogen. When the hormone ratio in the body is unbalanced, estrogen levels increase and progesterone secretion decreases, it can lead to incomplete regression after breast hyperplasia, causing breast tissue proliferation. Therefore, the functional state of the ovaries and whether there is disorder play a very important role in the development of the disease. Additionally, it might be related to differences in the quantity and quality of estrogen receptors in the breast tissue, causing uneven levels of breast proliferation and leading to breast swelling.

Can pregnancy cause breast pain?

Pregnant women are very likely to experience breast pain, which is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. Symptoms like breast tenderness, sensitivity, and a stinging sensation usually appear within 3-4 weeks of pregnancy, sometimes even before a pregnancy test can be taken. This is primarily because, to better support the growth of the fetus, the body produces more estrogen, stimulating the growth of mammary glands and causing breast pain. Of course, as the pregnancy progresses and hormone levels gradually stabilize, breast pain will be alleviated. Pregnant women should not be overly concerned. However, it is also important to remind pregnant women that while this breast pain might increase discomfort during pregnancy, it is usually bearable. If the breast pain becomes unbearable, it is still essential to visit a hospital for a check-up.

Will having sex with breast pain lead to pregnancy?

Women may experience breast tenderness before and after menstruation, or during ovulation. However, merely relying on breast tenderness to determine the likelihood of pregnancy during intercourse has no scientific basis. One should consider their menstrual cycle to see if it coincides with the ovulation period, which is typically about 14 days before the onset of the next menstrual cycle. The ovulation date, the five days before it, the four days after it, plus the day of ovulation itself, make up a total of ten days known as the ovulation period. Intercourse during this time is more likely to lead to pregnancy.

What is the cause of postmenopausal breast pain?

Under normal circumstances, if breast swelling and pain occur after menopause, it is necessary to visit a hospital for a breast ultrasound to check for any organic diseases in the breast. If the ultrasound reveals any abnormal masses or conditions, further examination with a mammogram is generally required. Normally, there should not be any swelling or pain in the breasts after menopause. If such symptoms occur, they should be taken seriously, and a hospital visit is necessary for relevant examinations to rule out malignant breast tumors. If there is no malignant tumor and the breast ultrasound does not show significant issues, merely presenting with breast swelling and pain, at this point, some medicinal treatment for regulation can be taken. Traditional Chinese medicine generally considers that the liver meridian passes through the breast, and patients with liver Qi stagnation may experience breast swelling and pain. In such cases, taking medicine to soothe the liver and alleviate depression can be symptomatically appropriate.
