What is the cause of breast pain after amenorrhea?

If breast tenderness occurs after menopause, it may be related to fluctuations in hormone levels in the body. It is recommended to observe changes in symptoms and seek medical attention in a timely manner to identify potential problems.

After amenorrhea occurs, the secretion of estrogen and progesterone in women will gradually decrease, and the fluctuation of these hormones may affect breast tissue. Breast pain may be related to endocrine disorders, breast fibrocystic lesions and other problems. If you have been under great mental stress recently or have changed your eating habits, it may also indirectly lead to fluctuations in hormone levels and cause breast discomfort.

If breast pain only occurs occasionally, you can try to adjust your work and rest schedule, pay attention to a balanced diet, and eat more nuts and green leafy vegetables rich in vitamin E, which may help breast health. You can also apply warm compresses appropriately to relieve breast pain. However, if breast pain persists, or is accompanied by symptoms such as lumps, secretions, and skin changes, it is not a simple hormone problem and you must go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.

You should pay attention to regular self-examination of your breasts, choose comfortable underwear to avoid compression when sleeping at night, and strengthen physical exercise to improve your endocrine status. If breast problems recur after menopause, you should consult a doctor whether it is necessary to conduct further breast imaging examinations, such as breast ultrasound or mammography, to clarify the cause and detect potential problems early.
