Introduction
Breast pain on the right side may be caused by conditions such as mammary gland hyperplasia, mastitis, or angina pectoris. In addition, the specific cause of breast pain should be determined based on the detailed symptoms, and appropriate treatment should be administered accordingly. During treatment, patients should pay attention to adjustments in diet and lifestyle, and maintain a positive mindset and good mental health to promote recovery.

Generally, pain or distension in the right breast may be caused by conditions such as mammary gland hyperplasia, mastitis, or angina pectoris. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Mammary Gland Hyperplasia

This is a common benign breast disorder, with symptoms including breast pain, lumps, and nipple discharge. Under medical guidance, medications such as tamoxifen citrate tablets or toremifene citrate tablets can be taken to relieve pain.

2. Mastitis

This is an infection of the breast tissue, characterized by symptoms such as breast pain, redness, swelling, and fever. Under medical supervision, antibiotics such as amoxicillin or moxifloxacin may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms.

3. Angina Pectoris

This is a heart condition caused by insufficient blood supply from the coronary arteries, presenting symptoms such as chest pain, tightness in the chest, and shortness of breath. Pain can be managed under a doctor's guidance with medications like aspirin and clopidogrel.

In addition, other breast-related conditions such as breast tumors, ductal ectasia, or fibroadenomas may also cause breast pain or discomfort. For breast pain, the underlying cause should be identified based on specific symptoms, followed by appropriate treatment. During treatment, patients should pay attention to adjusting their diet and lifestyle, maintain a positive mindset, and support mental well-being to promote recovery. If any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek prompt medical care at a hospital.
