Patient's question:
My relative had sex with his wife last night. My relative touched her breasts many times, but she kept closing them, saying she had severe pain and didn't want to be touched. My relative thought she was doing it on purpose. This morning, he touched her again and felt they were quite hard, and she grimaced in pain. My relative wants to take her to the hospital to see what's wrong. Hello, what are the reasons for breast pain?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is a normal physiological change. The breast tenderness and pain before menstruation belong to one of the symptoms of premenstrual tension syndrome. Patients with this condition often experience breast or nipple tenderness and pain 7 to 14 days before their period, to the extent that they cannot even touch their clothes. Upon palpation, it feels like there is a lump, which disappears after the period. It may also be accompanied by chest and side pain, lower abdominal pain, irritability, or menstrual disorders. Alternatively, it could be a temporary manifestation after pregnancy or childbirth, which is completely nothing to worry about.
