Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, female. Recently, I have been feeling a constant pain in my breasts, and they are also very swollen. I am a bit worried. Please advise how to deal with breast tenderness and itching during pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, women under the influence of high estrogen and progesterone in their bodies, the ducts and alveoli of the breast will grow and develop, which can lead to breast tenderness. If there is accessory breast tissue, it may cause a lump under the armpit, pain, and discomfort. It is recommended that you undergo an MRI examination. If it is accessory breast tissue, it generally does not require special treatment. The patient should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to enhance their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
