Pain in the mammary gland

Any unpleasant sensation, as well as pain in the mammary gland, can be a warning of a serious illness that poses a danger to women's health. After all, the breast is a very easily vulnerable organ, one that reacts lightly to every inflammatory process or any disturbances in the body.

When there is pain in the mammary gland, the woman, realizing that this is most likely due to any hormonal disorders, subconsciously falls into depression, feels depressed and depressed.

Mammologists talk about the following causes of chest pain:

• Hormonal changes - the chest hurts during puberty;
• For some time before the beginning of the next menstrual cycle;
• During lactation - when the soft skin of the nipple is cracked, and also because of an inflammatory process called mastitis, when the milk remains in the mammary gland, which leads to densification in the chest;
• During lactation through microcracks on the nipples inside the body can penetrate various viruses;
• Injuries caused by mechanical influences;
• Abortion, after which a certain time the chest hurts;
• After taking some medications. In which hormones are contained.

In general, by its nature, pain in the mammary gland, arising for a variety of reasons, can be divided into two groups - cyclically repetitive and non-cyclic. According to doctors, confirmed statistics, most often this complaint is made by women under the age of forty.

Representatives of the fair sex are very much afraid of developing breast cancer in their own skin, and therefore, at the first symptoms, they immediately turn to the appropriate specialists.

Cyclically repeated pain in the mammary gland is due, mainly, to hormonal disorders or changes occurring, usually, in the menstrual cycle. Many women know that before the monthly breast grows, and the breast glands acquire increased sensitivity and soreness. And for some, all these sensations increase with the birth of the first child. In such cases, primrose oil very helps, which in the evenings you need a breast. The only drawback of this treatment is its duration: the effect of this natural remedy is achieved slowly, sometimes after four months.

However, another kind of pain in the chest causes a special feeling of anxiety among women. Usually it does not depend on the menstrual cycle. In this case, usually there is either pain in the left breast, or in the right breast. Usually it is localized near the nipple. Most often this means that there have been some violations in the body. Sometimes it is a breast formation of a benign tumor, fibroadenomas, or cysts.

If, during palpation, seals of various sizes are found that do not cause any feeling of discomfort, then this is the main symptom of a benign tumor. At the very initial stage of their education, the chances of getting rid of them are large enough, so it's important to examine your mammary glands from time to time: if you have pains from pressing or densities, you should immediately contact a specialist.

Sometimes a woman has a stabbing pain in the mammary gland, sometimes pulling down, visible changes in the contour and shape of the breast, discharge from the nipples. All these symptoms are sometimes signs of mastopathy at a rather late stage, when dense knots and cysts of various sizes are formed.

And fibrotic mastopathy, as you know, may well be the beginning of such a disease as breast cancer.

In any case, in order to accurately determine the stage of the disease or any other problem associated with the mammary glands, it is necessary to undergo a complete examination with a specialist. And only after carrying out of various analyzes it is possible to answer precisely enough, in what the reason of a pain in a mammary gland.
