People tend to regard menarche as an important sign of girls entering puberty, but the second sexual characteristic that girls initially develop is the breasts. Adolescent girls feel faint pain in their breasts, and in fact, it is a normal phenomenon.
What are the causes of breast pain during adolescence
The earliest breast pain in adolescent girls usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13. At this point, the girl's breasts begin to develop, with first the nipples protruding, and the breast tissue below the nipples is a small, round, hard lump like structure that ranges from peas to broad beans, with slight swelling pain. After menarche, as the breasts of youth mature, they disappear.
Experts say that after entering puberty, the body of young girls secretes a large amount of estrogen, which acts on the breasts, promotes breast enlargement, stimulates the development of mammary ducts, increases blood vessels, and enhances the permeability of capillaries. Under the action of estrogen, the breasts are filled with water, and the nipples first bulge. About peas in the breast tissue appear as large round nodules with a slight swelling sensation. During this process, the breasts may experience abnormal sensitivity and a feeling of tightness. Once subjected to external pressure, they will experience special pain.
How to deal with breast swelling and pain during adolescence?
1. Exquisite chest selection
Breast doctors say that usually around the age of 16, women can use a soft ruler to measure the distance from the nipple to the lower part of the breast. If the distance exceeds 16 centimeters, they can wear the chest, even if they are not old and over 16 centimeters, they can wear the chest.
In the selection of the chest, do not be too tight or loose. Wearing a sturdy bra can reduce the impact of external forces on the breasts, exacerbate pain, and should not exceed 8 hours per day. Remove the chest during sleep at night to ensure smooth breathing and blood circulation during sleep.
2. Changing dietary habits
Do not eat spicy, greasy or other stimulating foods, and do not aggravate breast irritation. Adolescent women are advised to adopt a low fat and high fiber diet, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, and beans, eat grains, and supplement protein in moderation, such as chicken and fish. In short, while eating a light diet, ensure comprehensive nutrition and do not increase the amount of fluid in the breasts, exacerbating pain.
3. Avoid stimulating foods
Salty food can increase the amount of fluid in the breasts, making them prone to swelling and worsening pain. Especially before menstruation, it is important to pay attention to a light diet, and eat less coffee, strong tea, etc. to stimulate the breasts and make them uncomfortable.
