这种乳房疼痛严重吗?五种方式来讲述

这是一个理解和处理乳房疼痛的清单。

经过PJ Hamel 患者专家

你醒来一天早上,并意识到你的左乳房是疼痛。你觉得笨拙地抓住神经吗?拉肌肉打网球?你是为了得到你的时期吗?

你应该打电话给医生吗?

With all the awareness around breast cancer these days, more women than ever are being proactive about breast health. The good news is, acknowledging that you've felt a change in your breast can help you head off any serious issues. The bad news is, this heightened awareness may lead you to question and worry about every little twinge and ache.

当您体验乳房疼痛时,以下五点可以作为现实检查 - 这可能包括从沉闷疼痛到灼痛灼痛灼痛的一切。使用此清单来决定是否需要立即打电话给医生,或者可以等待查看自己是否自己解决。

两种乳房的疼痛/疼痛是什么?

如果是,那么它几乎肯定是自然的荷尔蒙;或指示更具系统性的东西(例如,与流感案例相关的身体疼痛)。癌症几乎从未在两种乳房中呈现出症状;因此,双侧乳房疼痛是癌症的症状是非常不寻常的。

如果你感受到其他流感样症状,还可以等待它。如果你觉得很好,请参阅疼痛是否在一周左右的痛苦。如果确实如此,假设它不严重可能是安全的。如果疼痛变得更糟,请致电你的医生。

你是预酝酿,或后期后血症吗?

绝经中绝经中的乳房疼痛是由于与月经周期相关的激素水平的变化。如果您仍然有期限,请记下疼痛开始的时候,它持续多久。如果它在你的期间开始,并且此后不久结束,那么它可能是荷尔蒙 - 即使你在一个乳房中感受到疼痛。

If you're post-menopausal, it's much less likely the pain you feel is due to hormones, since you're no longer experiencing a monthly cycle. However, it's also unlikely the pain is breast-cancer related, since only about 5% of breast pain is due to cancer (with the exception of inflammatory breast cancer,IBC.,其主要症状通常是痛苦)。追踪疼痛,其严重程度和持续时间。如果几天后没有开始改进,请看看医生找出什么。

疼痛伴有发红,一般肿胀和/或热吗?

如果是这样,那么是时候认真对待它了。IBC可以在其他症状中表现出红肿,肿胀和热量;但这是一种罕见的癌症形式。更常见的是,这些症状的女性都有mastitisor some other breast infection, which can also be serious. If you're experiencing noticeable redness and swelling, see a doctor ASAP.

你服用可能导致乳房疼痛的药物吗?

某些药物会导致乳房疼痛。这些我nclude some hormone-based drugs (birth control pills, infertility treatment, hormone replacement therapy); some medications that treat anemia, heart disease, high blood pressure and kidney disease; diuretics; as well as, antidepressants and antipsychotics that treat a host of mental health issues. In addition, a fatty acid imbalance in your cells system-wide can cause breast pain, according toHarvard Health

If the pain lasts longer than a week or so; or if it recurs on an irregular schedule (i.e., not in synch with your period), then ask your doctor if you might be experiencing a medication side effect.

Have you had cysts in the past, or been told you have a condition called fibrocystic change?

许多女性,特别是在20和50岁之间,经历囊肿 - 小,流体填充的口袋,当存在于乳房中时,有时会变得足够大以压力疼痛并引起疼痛。纤维囊肿变化, also common in pre-menopausal women, can result in benign breast tumors (fibroadenomas) which, while not serious, can be painful.

你怎么知道你的疼痛是否可能是由于囊肿?通常,它会在一个(不是两个)的乳房;在你的时期之前会伤害更糟。您可以在痛苦的地区感到柔软,可移动的肿块。然而,对于明确的诊断,看看你的医生;他/她可以订购ultrasound, which is very reliable in identifying breast cysts.

如果您的疼痛不适合上述任何类别,最好去看医生,而不是强调可能导致您的不适。行动胜过任何一天;如果您甚至不解决问题,您将无法找到解决方案,因此预约并开始才能开始。
