Most women have experienced symptoms of chest swelling and pain, which can occur before menstruation or when life pressure is high. After sexual intercourse, chest swelling and pain can also occur, and usually disappear after a few days. So what is the reason for having a slight chest swelling after having sex? Let's learn about it together.
What is the reason for having a slight chest swelling after having sex
Having a slight chest swelling after sexual intercourse may be caused by endocrine disorders or breast hyperplasia. At this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound to rule out the possibility of breast hyperplasia. Furthermore, a single symptom of breast swelling and pain cannot explain anything. Menstruation needs to be observed, and if there is a menstrual supermarket, it may be pregnancy and needs to be tested with test strips.
How to relieve breast swelling and pain
1. Hot compress is a direct and effective method of relief. When you feel breast swelling and pain, you can wrap a hot water bottle in a towel and apply it to your chest. If the effect is not ideal, you can also prepare a basin of cold water, soak a towel in it, and apply cold and hot alternately;
2. A fitted bra that is too small can compress the breasts, causing poor blood circulation and resulting in bloating and pain, while a bra that is too large can cause the breasts to be unable to be fixed and can be injured during exercise;
3. Salt reduction exercise should avoid high salt foods 7-10 days before menstruation, as these foods can cause breast swelling. If you eat very salty stew or snacks, do not immediately drink a lot of water, as this not only fails to neutralize the salt, but also allows the salt to penetrate into the bloodstream through the liquid, compressing blood vessels;
4. Vitamins can reduce the production of prolactin, which can cause breast swelling. Therefore, it is recommended to consume more foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin B to regulate the production of prostaglandin E and help inhibit the production of prolactin.
Women with breast swelling should pay attention to choosing suitable and breathable underwear to relieve pain. Moreover, it is important to pay attention to a reasonable diet, wake up early, avoid staying up late, and maintain a happy mood. If menstruation is delayed and chest swelling occurs, it may indicate pregnancy, which can be tested with test strips. If not pregnant, women can also go to the hospital for a breast examination. If there are breast diseases, they should be treated in a timely manner.
