Patient's question:
Good friend is 28 years old, menstruation has been delayed for more than ten days, and I don't know if it's pregnancy, quite nervous. Please ask: How long does breast tenderness last in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, the growth and development of the breasts occur in conjunction with the growth and development of the fetus. The most severe breast tenderness typically occurs between weeks 4 and 6 of pregnancy. However, by the second trimester (around the 13th to 16th week), the tenderness usually significantly decreases. During this period, pregnant women can alleviate the pain by applying warm or cold compresses, but it is important to be gentle to prevent damaging the nipples. In addition to treatment, it is essential to maintain adequate sleep, as sufficient rest will help you recover more quickly.
