Why Do Women Experience Breast Tenderness During the Ovulation Period?
Chest distension during the ovulation period is mainly caused by changes in estrogen and progesterone during ovulation or breast diseases. Breast tenderness caused by changes in estrogen and progesterone during ovulation is a physiological phenomenon, which usually subsides after ovulation and does not require special treatment. If chest distension is caused by breast diseases, breast pain is very obvious, often accompanied by lumps, and it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The main causes of chest pain during ovulation are as follows:
1. There are no significant symptoms of breast tenderness during other phases of the menstrual cycle. Breast pain during ovulation is due to the changes in estrogen and progesterone levels caused by ovulation during the physiological period, which act on the breast, causing breast tissue congestion, edema, and increased sensitivity, leading to pain. This is mainly a physiological change caused by increased estrogen levels.
2. Some women may experience irregular breast tenderness during non-menstrual and non-ovulation periods, with increased breast pain symptoms during ovulation. This is mainly considered to be breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia or breast fibroids, as the changes in estrogen levels during ovulation exacerbate the original symptoms.
Recommendations for chest pain during ovulation:
It is best to wear loose underwear to avoid compression of the breasts, avoid drinking strong tea or coffee, maintain a good mood, avoid staying up late, and adopt a healthy lifestyle. If the symptoms of chest pain are severe and have affected daily life, Xiaoyaowan can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If the symptoms of chest pain persist after medication, it may be caused by breast hyperplasia or breast fibroids, and it is recommended to undergo breast ultrasound examination and receive corresponding treatment under the guidance of a doctor based on the results.
