Patient's question:
I have been through menopause, but recently my breasts have been a bit sore. When I touch them, it seems like there are no special symptoms. Now I'm a bit worried. What are the reasons for breast pain after menopause?Doctor's answer:
Breast tenderness is not necessarily related to menopause; many reasons can cause breast discomfort. As women age, their breasts also gradually enlarge. The breast is one of the sexual organs and is influenced by sex hormones. After menopause, the excretion of female hormones also decreases. In general, breast discomfort is often related to breast hyperplasia. It is recommended that you take traditional Chinese medicine Xiao Jin Dan or Xiao Yao San to alleviate the symptoms. You can also go to the breast surgery department for a color ultrasound examination to determine how breast hyperplasia leads to breast discomfort, and receive further treatment.In daily life, it is important to avoid obesity, reduce the intake of fried foods, animal fat, sweets, and excessive supplementary foods. Instead, eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more coarse grains, stay calm, avoid emotional outbursts, and maintain emotional stability.
