There is no need to worry too much about breast pain at these times.
1. Adolescent development
A little girl who has just entered puberty will have small lumps on her chest and may also suffer from slight pain.

2. Before menstruation
If breast tenderness is regular, it is usually related to the menstrual cycle.
Before the physiological period, estrogen level rises, and breast congestion and edema will also occur, resulting in chest pain.
After menstruation, hormone levels drop, and this distending pain will naturally be relieved without more attention.
3. Pregnancy
During pregnancy, changes in sex hormone levels lead to secondary breast development. But don’t be too happy too early, the pain in the chest makes you forget the joy of secondary development in minutes.

Sometimes, you feel breast pain, but it may also be caused by other diseases, such as gallstones, angina pectoris or cervical spondylosis. About 10% ~ 13% of patients with breast pain, their pain is caused by factors outside the breast.
