People have different levels of sensitivity to pain, and many are born with an astonishing tolerance for pain. No one likes pain, of course it's best not to feel pain. So, does pregnancy cause breast swelling and pain?
Pregnancy can cause chest swelling and pain. Many mothers have reported experiencing chest swelling and pain during pregnancy, which is different from usual. The mammary gland is the central organ of many endocrine glands. In early pregnancy, due to the increase of estrogen and progesterone in the mother, the mammary ducts will undergo hyperplasia, the epithelial cells will enlarge, and the matrix around the mammary ducts will swell, causing swelling and pain.
Most mothers' symptoms are not particularly obvious, and they will ease with the balance of hormones in the body. But a small number of severe cases may experience breast swelling and pain throughout the entire pregnancy, and pregnant women do not need to be overly nervous or undergo special treatment for this condition.
It is worth noting that there are many reasons that can lead to breast swelling and pain. If a pregnant woman feels breast swelling and pain for a long time, or if it becomes increasingly severe, or if she feels a lump with unevenness, unclear edges, or poor mobility when touching the breast, she should seek medical attention and undergo examination in a timely manner to avoid missing the best treatment time.
Women may feel breast swelling and pain after pregnancy, and squeezing the nipple may also produce thick, pale yellow milk. As pregnancy progresses, the breasts will gradually expand and become soft, and the blood vessels on the breasts will become noticeably prominent. The nipples will gradually enlarge, the color of the areola will deepen, and the nipples will protrude. These are all normal phenomena, and pregnant women do not need to be overly nervous.
