Patient's question:
These past few days, I've been feeling some soreness and tenderness in my breasts. I know that it's normal to experience this kind of discomfort during my menstrual cycle, but this time I haven't had my period at all. It feels strange that I'm experiencing soreness again, so I want to ask what could be the reason for breast soreness?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for breast tenderness are numerous. Psychological breast tenderness includes preadolescent tenderness, postpartum tenderness, and tenderness that starts today or after conception. Most physiological tenderness is related to emotional stress. Pathological tenderness should be checked for conditions such as breast hyperplasia, mastitis, or breast cancer. So if you're not at ease, it's best to visit a hospital for a breast examination first. In daily life, it's important to alleviate stress. You can take many blood-activating and blood-stimulating medications. Additionally, cold compresses or various physical therapies can also be used.
