After undergoing induction of labor at an advanced stage of pregnancy, there will also be secretion of milk from the breasts. When experiencing unbearable breast pain and swelling, it is necessary to use lactation-suppressing medications for treatment, such as drinking barley malt water, or undergoing treatment with medication under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, you can eat some foods that have lactation-suppressing effects, such as hawthorn and leeks. You can also apply mirabilite by wrapping it in a cloth bag and then applying heat to the localized area of the breast to alleviate swelling and pain. If the condition is severe, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Is breast tenderness a sign that menstruation is coming?

Normally, if breast pain occurs before each menstrual period, it is generally considered that menstruation is approaching. However, some patients may also experience breast pain in the early stages of pregnancy. This type of pain usually occurs when the menstrual period does not arrive as expected, and at this time, the breast pain might be due to pregnancy. In such cases, it is advisable to visit a hospital for early pregnancy tests to obtain a clear diagnosis. If the test results indicate that pregnancy is not the cause of the breast pain, then it is likely that menstruation is approaching. Some patients may experience breast pain due to liver qi stagnation before their period, which is considered a pathological state and generally requires medication for symptomatic treatment. If pregnancy tests are negative and breast pain occurs, it is highly likely that menstruation is imminent.

Will breasts become swollen and painful ten days after conception?

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.

Why are breasts painful and swollen before menstruation?

Premenstrual breast pain is a common symptom among women and is considered a normal physiological response. It mainly occurs due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body seven to ten days before menstruation, leading to breast hyperplasia and enlargement, causing discomfort that makes the breasts sensitive to touch. There is no need for excessive concern as breast pain caused by hyperplasia is normal. Generally, the condition improves after menstruation and does not require special treatment. If the pain is severe, applying heat can help alleviate it.

How to regulate premenstrual breast swelling and pain

Before menstruation, estrogen levels rise and the breast tissue becomes congested and swollen, leading to breast pain. At this time, it is recommended for women to maintain a light diet, keep in a pleasant mood, avoid irritability, have regular routines, avoid excessive fatigue, and engage in moderate exercise, among other practices. After menstruation begins, hormone levels decrease, and this type of pain naturally eases without needing much attention. However, if the pain is severe and affects normal life, or if the pain lasts beyond the menstrual period, it is advised to visit a breast surgery specialist 3 to 5 days after the end of the period for an examination.
