Breast Pain
Breast Pain Treatment in Jabalpur
Breast pain, also known as mastalgia, is a common issue that can affect both men and women. It can feel like tenderness, throbbing, sharp, stabbing, or burning pain in the breast tissue. The pain can range anywhere from being mild to severe.
Breast pain can occur in different patterns:
- Just a few days a month, usually in the days before a menstrual period. This is normal and affects both breasts.
- For a week or more each month, starting before the period and sometimes continuing through the cycle. The pain can be moderate to severe and affects both breasts.
- Throughout the month, not related to the menstrual cycle.
In men, breast pain is often caused by a condition called gynecomastia, where there is an imbalance of hormones leading to increased breast tissue. In transgender women, breast pain can be a side effect of hormone therapy. In transgender men, any remaining breast tissue after a mastectomy may cause pain.
Most of the time, breast pain is not a sign of cancer. It is usually caused by a non-cancerous breast condition. However, any unexplained breast pain that doesn’t go away after a menstrual cycle or persists after menopause should be checked by a doctor.

What is the recovery period after breast pain treatment?
For non-surgical treatments like medications or lifestyle changes, the recovery period is generally quite short. Patients can typically resume normal activities quickly.
For surgical treatments like endoscopic breast procedures, the recovery period is a bit longer but still relatively fast compared to open surgeries:
- After endoscopic breast augmentation, patients can typically resume light activities within a few days and most normal activities within 2-4 weeks. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2-4 weeks.
- After endoscopic breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy), most people can resume day-to-day activities within 5-10 days, which is faster than open lumpectomy.
- Following endoscopic mastectomy, it may take 3-4 weeks for a person to feel back to their normal self, similar to open mastectomy.
- For endoscopic breast reconstruction, the recovery time can take up to 6-8 weeks, which is the longest among the different endoscopic breast procedures.
The minimally invasive nature of endoscopic breast surgery techniques generally allows for faster recovery compared to open procedures. However, the specific recovery timeline still depends on the extent of the surgery and the individual patient’s healing process.
