Loving beauty is everyone's right, and of course, every woman wants her breasts to be beautiful and attractive. This is also the reason why many people choose to have breast augmentation nowadays. Breast beauty is secondary, while the health of women's breasts is the most important. The breasts will undergo physiological changes with the menstrual cycle, and some people may experience chest pain. So, what are the periodic changes in women's breasts?
Periodic changes in female breasts
During a woman's menstrual cycle, changes in hormones at different stages of the cycle can cause varying changes in the breasts. In the first half of the menstrual cycle, estrogen levels gradually increase, and the breast shows proliferative changes, manifested as epithelial hyperplasia and tissue congestion. So, it is normal for some women to feel breast swelling, tension and firmness, and even varying degrees of pain and tenderness before menstruation.
After menstruation, the levels of estrogen and progesterone rapidly decrease, and the stimulation of estrogen on the breasts weakens. At this time, the breasts become smaller and softer, and the pain and tenderness disappear.
After ovulation, the level of progesterone increases, the epithelial cells in the lobules become enlarged, and the secretion inside the ducts also increases. But if the next menstrual cycle begins and the breast enters the proliferative phase again. The countless repetitions of the menstrual cycle keep the breast in a cyclical state of proliferation and involution, and then proliferation and involution again.
The shape of the breasts
1. It can be divided into four types: disc-shaped, hemispherical, conical, and vertical. A disc-shaped dish is like an inverted plate, and there are more women with sagging internal organs and lower body obesity. A hemispherical breast with a radius equal to its height is generally considered the most beautiful breast. Eastern women are more likely to have disc-shaped and hemispherical shapes. The height is longer than the radius, and the nipple image protrudes in a conical shape, which is more common in black women.
2. The sagging pattern is easily formed in women who are old, have weak chest muscles, or suddenly lose weight due to large breasts. Young women are prone to sagging if they do not use bras or use bras of inappropriate size.
Everyone also understands the principle of periodic changes in women's breasts. Some people may experience chest pain before menstruation, which is normal. Of course, different people have different physical conditions. The symptoms that everyone experiences are not the same. So if the swelling and pain start around the menstrual period, there is no need to worry too much.
