After pregnancy, female friends will gradually feel some changes in their body, which is also a normal physiological change during pregnancy due to changes in the secretion levels of various hormones in the body. However, some women may experience pain in the breast area as soon as they become pregnant, which may be caused by diseases. So, how many days of pregnancy will cause chest pain?
After pregnancy, the secretion levels of various hormones in the body of women will also increase and change accordingly, and each woman has differences due to their individual constitution. There are also a few women with sensitive constitutions who may experience breast tenderness and pain in the early stages of pregnancy, or a feeling of swelling in the breast area. However, most women do not experience significant breast swelling until after 8 weeks of pregnancy.
After pregnancy, the levels of pituitary prolactin, placental prolactin, progesterone, estrogen, and growth hormone in women's bodies will change, which can lead to the proliferation of mammary gland ducts and milk follicles in breast tissue, fat deposition, and breast enlargement, resulting in a sharp, swollen, and tender sensation.
Especially after 8 weeks of pregnancy, due to further proliferation of mammary gland ducts and milk follicles, as well as congestion of connective tissue in the breast area, the areola and nipple will also enlarge and pigmentation will deepen. The peripheral sebaceous glands will form nodular structures, also known as Montessori nodules.
In addition, it is worth noting that although most breast swelling and pain during pregnancy are caused by physiological factors, it should also be considered that sometimes it may also be related to pathological factors. So it is recommended that pregnant women who experience discomfort in the breast area should also go to the hospital's gynecology department for examination to rule out pathological factors.
