Breast tenderness is a sign of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I've been divorced for 3 years. I previously had two miscarriages. This year, I finally got pregnant again. During my previous two pregnancies, I experienced breast tenderness. I'm not sure if it will happen this time. Does anyone know if pregnancy can cause breast tenderness?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, considering the hormonal imbalance in a woman's body after pregnancy, symptoms such as breast tenderness and pain may reappear. Therefore, pregnant women should not overworry or put too much mental stress on themselves, as this may affect the fetal growth and development. Pregnant women should consume more protein and other nutrients, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables, which can help with the growth and development of the fetus. If the patient also experiences breast lumps or nipple discharge, it may be caused by mastitis. For patients with mastitis, treatment methods such as antibiotics or surgical drainage of pus may be necessary.
