What should I do if my breast hurts due to delayed menstruation?

Delayed menstruation and breast pain may be caused by early pregnancy, premenstrual signs, breast hyperplasia and other factors. Symptomatic treatment is required according to the cause, as follows:

1. Early pregnancy

If menopause and breast pain are caused by early pregnancy, you need to pay attention to rest, eat a light diet, keep your emotions stable, and have regular prenatal check-ups; try to wear loose and soft underwear to reduce breast pressure. Generally, after four months of pregnancy, early pregnancy reactions such as breast pain, dizziness, fatigue, and drowsiness will disappear on their own without the need for special treatment.

2. Premenstrual signs

If menstruation is delayed by less than 7 days and breast pain occurs at the same time, it may be that menstruation is about to come. No special treatment is needed at this time. Keep your emotions stable, eat regularly, avoid excessive fatigue, and pay attention to cold and heat. The pain symptoms after menstruation can be relieved on their own.

3. Breast hyperplasia

Due to various reasons, the imbalance of the estrogen and progesterone ratio in the body will lead to breast hyperplasia and menstrual disorders. At this time, you need to adjust your lifestyle habits, maintain emotional stability, apply appropriate hot compresses to the breasts, promote blood circulation, and relieve pain.

Patients with breast hyperplasia can use drugs such as Ruyixiaoxiao and Xiaoyao Pills to relieve pain as recommended by doctors; at the same time, to treat the primary factors of hormone disorders, such as hormone disorders caused by hyperthyroidism, they can use drugs such as methimazole and propylthiouracil to inhibit the synthesis of thyroid hormones as recommended by doctors; hormone disorders caused by adrenal cortex insufficiency can be replaced by drugs such as hydrocortisone and prednisone.
