What causes breast pain during menstruation?

Breast pain during menstruation may be related to environmental influences, unhealthy lifestyles, breast hyperplasia and other factors. Details are as follows:

1. Environmental impact

If you do not keep warm during menstruation, or if the temperature drops suddenly or you use air conditioning for a long time, the breast area will be stimulated by the cold, which will cause blood vessel constriction and blood stasis, making the breasts prone to swelling and pain.

2. Unhealthy lifestyle

For example, high work pressure, staying up late for a long time, emotional instability, etc., can lead to endocrine disorders in the human body, which in turn destroys the balance of sex hormones in the body, stimulates breast tissue, and causes breast pain. The symptoms are relatively obvious during menstruation.

3. Breast hyperplasia

Breast hyperplasia is mainly related to factors such as the imbalance of the estrogen-progesterone ratio and abnormal quality of breast hormone receptors. The levels of estrogen and progesterone fluctuate greatly during menstruation, which can lead to the proliferation of breast fibrous tissue and breast duct epithelial cells, and then compress the surrounding tissues, causing breast pain.

In addition to the above factors, this situation may also be a manifestation of diseases such as mastitis, mammary duct dilatation, and breast fibroids. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention in a timely manner and receive treatment after the cause is identified. Most of them have a good prognosis and there is no need to worry.
