The breast is an organ that women secrete milk. This organ is greatly affected by hormones, so in clinical practice, many women suffer from breast diseases, which are usually closely related to the reproductive system.
Breast pain is a common manifestation in clinical practice. Many diseases may also be involved in breast pain. Therefore, learning to correctly identify breast pain can prevent breast related diseases well, predict diseases in advance, and protect women's breast health.
So, how do you determine whether it is breast pain? Everyone needs to know these 3 clinical manifestations of breast pain.
1. The range of pain
Since the nerve distribution around the breast is relatively rich, once the breast is affected, it will show more sensitive pain. These pains will stimulate the patient, thereby expanding the pain area of the entire breast area. Clinically, when a patient is diagnosed with breast pain, the restriction usually starts from one side of the breast, and a very small number of patients will have pain on both sides of the breasts.
The initial pain response is not very obvious, but as the condition worsens, the pain will slowly expand to the entire breast, with the nipple as the center and gradually spread to the entire breast. There are also some patients who, when breast pain occurs, not only are breasts involved, but also involve the upper limbs, scapula area, etc. on one side, and will experience varying degrees of pain, and sometimes they will also show radiation pain.
2. The degree of pain
In clinical practice, different causes will cause different pain sensations, so the degree of pain will also be different. If it is pain caused by breast inflammation, the patient will usually feel severe pain in a short period of time because inflammatory stimulation can aggravate the sensitivity of the pain.
If it is caused by a malignant tumor of the breast, the patient may not feel obvious pain at the beginning. As the condition continues to worsen, the degree of this pain will aggravate. Therefore, the degree of breast pain can also be used as an important indicator of the cause of breast disease.
3. The duration of pain
Although it is breast pain, due to the different duration, the severity of the disease reflected will also vary. For benign breast hyperplasia , the breast pain felt by the patient is intermittent, and sometimes he feels breast pain, but sometimes he feels the pain slightly relieved.
If it is pain caused by breast malignant tumor , the patient will generally feel the pain in a short period of time. Moreover, during the aggravation of the pain, the patient's breasts will also have symptoms such as redness and swelling, which are closely related to breast pain.
In addition, if it is a mild inflammatory reaction, the pain will last very short and will not have a great impact on the patient's daily life, so it will show the phenomenon of "inflammation comes, breast pain; inflammation disappears, pain disappears". Through these clinical manifestations, breast disease can be judged well, and with the help of other auxiliary examinations, it is generally not difficult to diagnose.
