Breast pain during and after ovulation
What is ovulation and breast pain after ovulation?
A woman's menstrual cycle usually shortens from 28 days to 14 days, and ovulation occurs on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle. During ovulation, a woman's egg is released from the ovary and waits in the fallopian tube for fertilization. If a woman's eggs are successfully fertilized, they combine in the fallopian tubes, form a fertilized egg, and travel to the uterus to implant. However, for some women, breast pain may occur during ovulation. This symptom usually occurs after ovulation, but may persist for some time.
Why do women experience breast pain during and after ovulation?
The symptoms of breast pain in women during and after ovulation may be related to the following factors:
1. Changes in hormonal levels: During ovulation, women’s hormonal levels will change, causing breast pain. This is because during ovulation, a woman’s hormone levels increase, including testosterone and estrogen. These hormones may cause breast pain and swelling.
2. Lobular hyperplasia: Lobular hyperplasia is a common female disease that usually occurs in post-pubertal women. Lobular hyperplasia may cause breast pain and breast discomfort, especially around ovulation.
3. Other diseases: Some other diseases may also cause women to experience breast pain during and after ovulation, such as breast cancer, lobular hyperplasia, breast fibroma, etc.
Symptoms and treatments
If a woman experiences breast pain during and after ovulation, no special treatment is usually required. Some methods can help relieve symptoms, such as:
1. Hot compress: You can use a hot water bottle or hot towel to apply on the breast to relieve breast pain and swelling.
2. Massage: Gently massaging the breasts can promote blood circulation and relieve breast pain.
3. Diet adjustment: Pay attention to your diet and avoid eating too many irritating foods, such as coffee, alcohol, etc., which can help relieve breast pain.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to determine whether other diseases or abnormalities are present.
