Patient's question:

What causes breast tenderness during pregnancy? How to relieve breast tenderness during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, breast tenderness during pregnancy is a normal phenomenon because prolactin secretion during pregnancy stimulates breast hyperplasia, causing tenderness. First, relax your mind and don't be nervous. If the pain is significant, you can use warm compresses and gentle massage for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, it cannot be ruled out that there may be some organic breast diseases. It is recommended to go to a local regular hospital for examination as soon as possible to identify the cause and treat accordingly, so as to avoid unnecessary harm to yourself.
