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 before menstruation related to breast cysts?

Women experiencing breast pain before menstruation are advised to undergo a systematic examination at a hospital. If you suspect that you have a breast cyst, it is still advisable to undergo relevant tests to eliminate the possibility of this condition. If breast cysts are ruled out, the pre-menstrual breast pain might be due to premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Premenstrual syndrome in women often manifests as headaches, breast pain, abdominal bloating, limb edema, irritability, anxiety, depression, and emotional instability, among other symptoms. If diagnosed with PMS, psychological reassurance and counseling can be provided to help the woman relax. Additionally, a suitable diet, nutrition, and appropriate physical exercise should be considered. If necessary, medication might be taken under a doctor's prescription. For further queries, please consult a doctor at a hospital.

What causes chest tightness and breast pain?

Chest tightness and breast pain are primarily considered to be caused by breast hyperplasia or mastitis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an examination, including a breast ultrasound, to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Diet should be light, avoiding spicy, greasy, cold, and irritating foods. It is also important to check for symptoms of pregnancy using a test strip. If pregnancy is ruled out, the symptoms may be due to breast hyperplasia or mastitis. Under a doctor's guidance, anti-inflammatory and anti-infection medications should be taken as treatment. Additionally, maintaining a good mood, avoiding anger, ensuring adequate sleep, and not staying up late can significantly aid in recovery from illness.

Breast engorgement but not much milk, what's the problem?

Breast pain with scanty milk supply may be due to milk stagnation in the ducts. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital's breast department for an ultrasound or routine blood test to determine if inflammation is present. If the blood count exceeds 10,000, it indicates that the milk was not fully drained during breastfeeding, causing it to accumulate in the lobules of the breast tissue, leading to bacterial mastitis. In this case, it is advised to stop breastfeeding and treat the inflammation symptomatically. Local warm moist compresses, as well as peri-inflammatory injections of isotonic saline, can be used to help reduce the inflammation. Antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporins or erythromycin may be chosen.

Will breast pain still occur if pregnant in the same month as premenstrual breast swelling and pain?

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 position should be scraped for breast distension pain?

Breast pain should first undergo a clear diagnosis to determine the cause. If it is simply caused by breast hyperplasia, gua sha can be used for treatment. The location of the breasts is generally on the stomach meridian or the liver and gallbladder meridians. For specific treatment acupoint selection, you can choose the Jianjing acupoint, which is located between the Dazhui acupoint and the shoulder peak, i.e., between the high point behind the neck and the shoulders. Pressing this area will produce a distinct sore and swollen feeling, and gua sha can be used to treat this area. Additionally, gua sha can be performed on the opposite side or the corresponding back side, where the pain points of the breasts are located at the corresponding positions on the back side, which has a good analgesic effect. Furthermore, distant points can be chosen. If the person tends to be irritable or impatient, gua sha can be performed between the first and second toes at the Taichong acupoint. Also, gua sha can be performed at the Danzhong acupoint located between the two breasts. Another point is the Waiguan acupoint, located between the transverse wrist crease and the elbow crease on the dorsal side of the forearm, about two inches from the wrist transverse crease. This point also has a good analgesic effect for breast pain caused by breast hyperplasia.
