Women's breast health has always been a topic of concern for women, and it is also because the number of women who lose their lives due to breast health is increasing. Therefore, once women experience breast discomfort, it can be somewhat frightening. So, what causes nipple pain in women? Here, the editor will provide six reasons for everyone's reference.
What is nipple pain
1. Caused by menstrual period: This type of pain is clearly related to menstruation, usually causing breast swelling and pain two or three days before menstruation due to increased blood flow supply, and gradually disappearing after menstruation. Due to its obvious relationship with menstruation, it usually does not cause any inconvenience to the parties involved, so there is no need to worry excessively.
2. If the bra is not suitable and causes compression, it can be relieved after changing the bra. The choice of bra should be mainly based on suitability.
3. If the breast volume is too large and causes discomfort due to sagging, appropriate underwear should be used for conditioning.
4. Pain caused by breast trauma.
5. Inflammation and infection of the breast can cause redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Mastitis is particularly prone to occur during lactation, and appropriate treatment (such as antibiotics and massage) can quickly alleviate symptoms.
As for breast cancer itself, it rarely causes pain unless it worsens and invades adjacent tissues such as the skin or chest wall, which requires official confirmation from the hospital.
Based on the analysis of the causes of nipple pain above, everyone can conduct self testing of their own situation. However, if a friend's nipple pain has not improved for a long time, or if the pain recurs but the cause cannot be found, they should go to a local regular hospital for examination in a timely manner. After all, women's breast health has always been an issue that cannot be ignored.
