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.

Breast pain and bleeding after intercourse, what could be the reason?

Breast pain and nipple bleeding during intercourse are considered types of nipple discharge, possibly caused by intraductal papilloma or chronic inflammation of the ducts. Diagnosis can be made through mammography or ductoscopy. Generally, we choose ductoscopy, which allows direct observation on a computer screen whether the cause is inflammation or intraductal papilloma. If the issue is solely inflammation, it can be treated by flushing through ductoscopy. If intraductal papilloma is suspected, ductoscopy can be used to collect a tissue sample for pathology to determine whether it is due to intraductal papilloma or cancer within the ducts.

Is breast pain related to taking folic acid?

Breast pain and swelling are generally not related to folic acid intake, as such pain and swelling are usually associated with breast hyperplasia, which is often related to endocrine disorders leading to increased levels of estrogen. The breast is a target organ for many endocrine glands, and its physiological activities are influenced by hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, ovaries, and adrenal cortex. The pituitary gland can directly affect the breast through prolactin. At the same time, estrogen and progesterone produced by the ovaries and adrenal cortex indirectly affect the breast. During pregnancy, breast cancer is influenced by estrogen and progesterone produced by the placenta. During pregnancy and lactation, the breast noticeably proliferates, with ductal elongation and alveolar secretion of milk. After breastfeeding, breast tissue returns to a relatively quiescent state.

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 the matter with headache, nausea, and breast pain?

Headaches, nausea, and breast pain may be related to autonomic dysfunction and cardiac neurosis. It is important to rest well, ensure sufficient sleep, and further exclude cardiovascular diseases, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and insufficient cardiac blood supply, which can also cause headaches, nausea, breast pain, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, insufficient cerebral arterial blood supply, and cerebral vascular stenosis. These conditions can also trigger migraines and ischemic hypoxic changes in cerebrovascular health, causing headaches, nausea, and breast pain. Blood pressure and blood sugar should be monitored, and blood pressure should be actively controlled to prevent hypertensive encephalopathy.

Can breast engorgement and blocked milk ducts be treated with scraping therapy?

Breast pain and blocked milk ducts are not recommended for scraping therapy, as scraping can easily cause inflammation of the mammary glands and result in breast damage. Breast heaviness and blocked milk ducts are likely caused by the accumulation of milk in the ducts. It is advised to visit a regular hospital for a breast ultrasound to determine if the issue is caused by inflammation or lipid accumulation. If the condition is merely an accumulation, using a warm towel for heat compresses and massage can achieve the effect of unblocking the milk ducts. However, if the condition is caused by inflammation, and the symptoms are mild and the lesions are not severe, breastfeeding can still be continued. Nevertheless, the affected breast should not be used for breastfeeding. A breast pump can be used to extract the milk.
