Patient's question:
Nursing-related breast engorgement and pain.Doctor's answer:
Breast tenderness can be physiological or pathological. During the premenstrual period of women (due to hormonal changes after ovulation), tenderness and pain upon touch are normal. If the symptoms are severe, irregular, or accompanied by localized breast lumps, it falls under the pathological category and requires medical attention. You should visit the surgical department or a specialized breast clinic for diagnostic tests such as ultrasound and mammography.
