If women experience breast pain before menstruation, it is likely caused by premenstrual syndrome. Premenstrual syndrome in women is often caused by psychological stress and mental factors. It generally causes symptoms such as headaches, breast pain, limb edema, and abdominal bloating. At this time, it is advisable to give psychological suggestion under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, psychological comfort and guidance should be provided to help women relax. Additionally, a reasonable diet, increased nutrition, appropriate physical exercise, and quitting smoking are all good treatment methods for premenstrual syndrome, as it is caused by psychological and mental stress in women. Therefore, it is possible that a woman might still feel tense after becoming pregnant, which might result in chest pain. The specific situation depends on the individual conditions of the woman, as not all women necessarily experience chest pain. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze each case individually. If further questions arise, please consult a doctor at a hospital.

What is the cause of breast pain before menstruation?

If breast pain occurs before menstruation, it is likely due to stagnation of liver qi, caused by discomfort of liver qi. Initially, one can use some traditional Chinese medicines that soothe the liver and regulate qi for treatment, which are very helpful in alleviating these symptoms. It is also important to avoid frequent anger, anxiety, and excessive heat, as these can affect menstruation and lead to breast pain during this period. If symptoms of premenstrual breast pain recur, it is also necessary to visit a hospital for a detailed examination, and an ultrasound of the breast can be performed to check for any breast lumps or related symptoms.

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

Why do breasts swell and hurt after soaking feet in mugwort?

When experiencing breast pain and swelling while using mugwort for foot soaks, it is primarily considered that mugwort promotes overall blood circulation, which may lead to painful hardness upon touching, mainly suspected to be caused by mastitis or a tumor. It is advised to promptly visit a reputable hospital to investigate the specific cause and rule out inflammation or tumors in the breast. This can effectively prevent worsening of the symptoms. Additionally, rest is important as mugwort foot soaks can be beneficial for bodily health, but if symptoms occur, it is essential to immediately stop the treatment.

Can you drink dandelion water for breast pain and swelling?

Breast swelling and pain can be treated with dandelion water, but the treatment effect for breast swelling and pain is not good. The swelling and pain in the breasts are often related to hormonal imbalances that lead to increased levels of estrogen. Typically, we use traditional Chinese medicine to treat this condition. By regulating liver functions and harmonizing the Chong and Ren meridians, we can alleviate pain and treat breast hyperplasia. Endocrine treatments are also available, though not typically preferred. However, they can be used before menstruation in pre-menopausal women with significant pain, and regular pelvic ultrasound monitoring is needed when using endocrine therapy. Vitamins can be used for treatment, including vitamin B, vitamin C, and vitamin E, which improve liver function, regulate basal metabolism, and enhance autonomic nervous system functions, acting as adjunct therapies for this condition. In recent years, vitamins have also been recognized for their pain-relieving effects. If breast swelling and pain occur, it is necessary to visit a legitimate hospital for breast ultrasound and regular mammographic examinations.

What's going on with breast swelling, pain, and frequent urination?

Breast engorgement and frequent urination may be caused by mammary gland hyperplasia, and we can diagnose it through breast ultrasonography or mammography. Mammary gland hyperplasia is currently believed to be related to endocrine disorders causing increased levels of estrogen. It primarily manifests as cyclical breast pain, often occurring or worsening before menstruation, and diminishing or disappearing after menstruation. Mild cases may not be significant to the patient, but severe cases can affect daily life and work. However, some patients do not show obvious cyclical changes, and symptoms may include one or both sides of the breasts feeling engorged or a tingling itch, possibly extending to the shoulder, upper limbs, or thoracic and back areas. A minority of patients may experience nipple discharge, which can be yellow or brown. The condition can last for a long time, but symptoms will automatically disappear or lessen after menopause.
