Does pregnancy have other symptoms besides chest ache?

Symptom 1. Tingling according to previous studies, only about 4% of cases of "breast pain" are related to breast cancer. Therefore, pregnant mothers need not worry too much.

When women or pregnant women express breast pain, the doctor will first palpate to check whether there is a lump and confirm the location of pain.

If no lump is found after palpation, other pathological causes are excluded, Generally, continuous observation and tracking are adopted, and most of the pain will be relieved without taking medicine. If continuous pain for 6 months, then further detailed examination.

If the pregnant woman finds a lump, the doctor will check it first to judge whether the lump is benign or malignant. The benign lump is usually cyst, lipoma, glandular tumor caused by constitution, or water tumor caused by pregnant milk deposition. Benign masses usually do not require immediate treatment, especially during pregnancy, but are regularly followed up.

In fact, blood in secretions is not necessarily a sign of cancer. It may also be bleeding due to compression of the mammary duct.
