Causes & Symptoms

Breast pain can result from various factors, which can generally be categorized into cyclical and non-cyclical pain:

• Cyclical Breast Pain: This type of pain is often linked to hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle. It usually occurs in the days leading up to menstruation and subsides once the period begins. Women may experience tenderness, swelling, or heaviness in the breasts.
• Non-Cyclical Breast Pain: This pain can occur at any time and is not related to the menstrual cycle. Common causes include:

• • Hormonal changes: Fluctuations during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause.
  • Infections or inflammation: Conditions like mastitis or breast abscesses can lead to pain and discomfort.
  • Fibrocystic breast changes: Benign lumps or cysts can cause tenderness and pain.
  • Injury: Trauma to the breast area may result in localized pain.
  • Other medical conditions: Issues such as costochondritis or even certain medications can lead to breast pain.

Common symptoms associated with breast pain may include:

• Tenderness or sensitivity in the breasts
• Swelling or lump formation
• Sharp, stabbing, or aching sensations
• Pain radiating to the shoulder or upper back
• Changes in breast texture or appearance

Treatment

Treatment for breast pain at Emirates Hospitals Group is tailored to the individual, depending on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms. Options may include:

1. Lifestyle Modifications: Simple changes, such as wearing a supportive bra, reducing caffeine and salt intake, or maintaining a healthy diet, can alleviate discomfort.
2. Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be recommended to help manage pain. Hormonal therapy, such as birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy, may also be considered for cyclical breast pain.
3. Physical Therapy: In some cases, physical therapy may be beneficial, particularly if pain is related to musculoskeletal issues or injury.
4. Surgical Intervention: If a specific lump, cyst, or other abnormality is identified as the cause of breast pain, surgical options may be discussed. Our breast surgeons are skilled in minimally invasive techniques to remove problematic tissue.
5. Regular Monitoring: For patients with benign breast conditions, regular follow-up appointments may be recommended to monitor any changes in symptoms or breast health.
