Patient's question:
On the 7th day of my period, it had already ended. On the 12th, I had sex with my husband, and we weren't planning to have a child. I used a condom. Since the 14th, my breasts have started to hurt, and it has continued for about four or five days without stopping. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, after the period, due to the decline in hormone levels in the body, there may be breast tenderness and pain. This could also be caused by breast hyperplasia. It is also possible that you are pregnant. It is recommended to visit the breast department of a regular tertiary hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo ultrasound and other relevant tests to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. You can also have blood drawn at the hospital 10 days after intercourse to test for HCG. If the HCG level is below the normal range, it proves that you are pregnant.
