Can breast pain really be solved by pressing and massaging? Today, let's talk about the "causes and consequences" of breast pain

I don't know when, various breast health massage services and products are emerging in major health centers, beauty salons and e-commerce platforms.

The secret recipe essential oil, dredging the meridians, reducing swelling, breast enhancement, breast beauty, and even false publicity in the name of traditional Chinese medicine.

So, are these so-called breast care massage services scientific?

Can breast pain really be solved by pressing?

Today, I would like to discuss the "past life" of breast pain.

一、 Physiological pain

Generally speaking, women's temporary breast pain caused by changes in their physiological needs in different periods is called "physiological breast pain" in medicine. It usually occurs in adolescence, pre menstrual period, pregnancy, postpartum, after abortion or after sexual life, and can generally relieve itself.

二、 Pathological pain

Pathological pain of the breast is often a unique characteristic manifestation and change rule. There are five common symptoms. It is recommended that the hospital breast specialist check.

1.Hyperplasia of breast (benign):

More than 80% of patients have breast pain

Breast hyperplasia is better than that of women of childbearing age from 30 to 50 years old. The symptoms are breast pain, severe sensation or tenderness. The pain is severe before menstruation, and it is relieved after pain, but it does not completely disappear.

During chest self inspection, one or more hard lumps of different sizes can be felt, which are round or irregular in shape, and feel like touching rubber blocks.

Breast hyperplasia is generally benign, rarely malignant into cancer, so there is usually no need for special treatment, only when there are clear nodules or periodic pain is more serious, treatment is needed.

2. Breast cancer (malignant):

Only 4.6% of patients will feel pain

Many people worry that breast pain is caused by breast cancer, but the study found that only about 4.6% of breast cancer patients have cancer as the main symptom, and most breast pain is usually unrelated to cancer.

Most of the early breast cancer is still dominated by breast lumps, which are generally located near the armpit. They are hard but not smooth, and the mobility of the lumps is poor.

If such a lump is found in breast self inspection, please go to the hospital breast specialist for diagnosis and treatment.

3. Breast fibroadenoma, breast cyst:

They are all benign.

Breast fibroadenoma and breast cyst are common benign breast tumors in young women's life.

Very few malignant changes occur. In order to eliminate potential safety hazards, early surgery is recommended for general development.

Once breast self inspection touches a lump with smooth surface, clear boundary, pushable and generally painless, it is likely to be one of them. It is recommended to seek medical advice in time.

4. Cervical spondylosis

In recent years, more and more young people suffer from cervical spondylosis.

When cervical spondylosis causes spasm and edema of nearby soft tissues, it can cause chronic pain in the breast.

Generally speaking, such pain is often accompanied by obvious discomfort of neck and shoulder, and breast examination results are generally normal.

5. Mastitis (benign):

It usually occurs during lactation.

If the breast suddenly appears continuous severe pain with obvious tenderness, it is usually considered as acute mastitis.

The redness, swelling, heat and pain caused by inflammation and infection of the breast, especially in the lactation period, can be easily caused. After proper treatment (such as oral antibiotics, external application of Chinese herbal medicine, etc.), the symptoms can be quickly relieved.

三、 What about breast pain?

1.Don't worry! Breast pain is mostly benign

The causes of breast pain are mostly normal physiological changes or benign breast diseases, and a few are malignant breast diseases.

If the breast self inspection touches "tumor", and the left and right sides are symmetrical, or the size of "tumor" changes before and after the menstrual cycle, it is generally considered as normal hyperplasia of the breast.

Of course, for the sake of safety, it is recommended that we go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis so as not to delay the illness.

2. There are three levels of breast pain, which can be treated in different ways

Once: feel pain when touching with hands, usually without treatment;

Second degree: I feel pain during activities and exercises. Under the guidance of the doctor, I can relieve my pain through rational choice of medication;

Third degree: Static pain. If you are lying in bed, you will also feel pain. You must see a doctor in time.

3. Pain+lump, seek medical advice immediately

If breast pain is serious enough to affect daily life, and "lump" is encountered during breast self inspection, please go to the hospital for special examination as soon as possible.

It is recommended that women over 30 years old should have regular breast color ultrasound examination every year to find breast lesions in time;

In order to improve the detection rate of breast cancer, women over 40 years old are best to have breast color ultrasound combined with mammography.

四、 Common breast examination

According to different conditions, breast examination is mainly divided into the following items, and generally the first three items are most commonly used:

1.The doctor conducts palpation to check bilateral mammary glands;

2. Color ultrasound examination of breast;

3. Mammary mammography;

4. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of breast;

5. Cytological or histopathological examination;

6. Other examinations (screening gynecological or other medical and surgical diseases).

五、 Can hyperplasia of mammary gland become cancerous?

There is an essential difference between breast hyperplasia and breast cancer. Breast hyperplasia is not the precursor of breast cancer, such as breast cyst, breast fibroadenoma, breast adenosis, and breast duct expansion. Most benign breast diseases will not increase the risk of breast cancer.

Only atypical hyperplasia and carcinoma in situ are truly precancerous lesions.

六、 Can breast massage dredge the meridians?

Many beauty salons do breast massage under the so-called banner of traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, traditional Chinese medicine does not simply rely on the so-called massage therapy to achieve the effect of dredging the breast. In clinical practice, it is necessary to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine decoction and acupoint acupuncture to achieve the purpose of treatment.

For breast massage, it is obviously unscientific that massage can treat breast diseases.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is an organic whole, with meridians running through the whole body.

Although there are meridians around the breast, it is usually impossible to achieve the ideal effect of dredging the meridians by only massaging the local part.

Most of the breast massage methods used in the beauty salon design are massage along the breast duct, which can block the breast duct of lactating mothers or have a temporary effect of breast opening, but the effect is not great, and it can not fundamentally improve the problem of breast duct obstruction.

Moreover, the vast majority of breast related diseases will aggravate the patient's condition due to blind massage, and the "three no" essential oil used in many beauty salons may also lead to other system diseases.

In short, keep a good mood, avoid the "three high" (high salt, high sugar, high fat) diet, develop a regular life, and choose the right underwear. These are the best breast care!
