Breast pain, nipple enlargement and hardening

Whether from the perspective of aesthetics or physical and mental health, the necessity of breasts is unquestionable. For women, perhaps there are many things in life that can be compromised, but breast care is the only thing that cannot be compromised. However, some women notice breast pain and nipples become hard. What is the reason? If your menstrual cycle is relatively regular and you have normal sexual life, you can usually consider the possibility of pregnancy after menopause. Based on the above conditions and symptoms, you may be pregnant.

But it is not relative. There may be other reasons for delayed menstruation. The above situation may also occur before the menstruation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test or use a test strip to check whether you are pregnant. If you are not pregnant, observe for about a day or two. After all, it is normal for menstruation to be advanced or delayed by about a week. If menstruation does not come for more than a week, go to the hospital for color ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium and then conduct treatment.

Nipple care during pregnancy plays an important role in milk secretion and breastfeeding after childbirth. It can make the nipple skin tougher, less likely to be damaged or cause mastitis during postpartum breastfeeding. If the pregnant mother has nipple indentations and does not pay attention to correcting them during pregnancy, and waits until after giving birth to correct them, it will be of no help. It will cause difficulty in feeding and affect breastfeeding. Therefore, pregnant mothers need to start nipple care from the middle of pregnancy. In this way, exclusive breastfeeding can be successfully carried out after the product is born.

1. Clean the nipples

Starting from May after pregnancy, gently rub the nipples with soap and a soft cotton towel for about 1-2 minutes every day, and then rinse with cold water.

2. Anti-drying and cracking medical care

Clean with 25% ethanol 1-2 times a day, so that the skin of the nipple will gradually become thicker and tougher, and can withstand the baby's sucking without causing nipple cracking. Instantly eliminates scale and scabs on nipples. Pregnant mothers can apply cooking oil or mineral oil to the nipples to loosen the scale and scabs, then gently clean them with warm water and a soft cotton towel to remove them, and apply anti-rust oil on the nipples.

3. Wear a suitable bra

The bra is close to the nipple, and the nipple rubs the bra fibers during movement, causing the fibers to be rolled into a cocoon-like shape and enter the mammary duct. Over time, blocked milk ducts will not only affect future breastfeeding, but will also cause mastitis and even develop into breast cancer. Therefore, pregnant mothers are not suitable for wearing tops that are too tight and should choose bras made of pure cotton.

4. Do nipple massage exercises

Regular nipple massage allows the nipples to adapt to external stimulation and can prevent symptoms such as nipple cracks caused by breastfeeding.

Breast care for successful pregnancy

In fact, during the ovulation period of each month, the levels of estrogen and estrogen in a woman's blood will rise, which will stimulate and help the uterus to become a soft, sponge-like nursery rash for pregnancy. If you are pregnant this month, estrogen and oestrogen will continue to act on the tissues that produce milk, making the breasts feel swollen and numb.

If you haven't been pregnant, your breasts will normally return to their original shape and become more sensitive before your period. When sperm and egg cells fuse to form sperm and egg fertilization and begin to mature in the uterus, estrogen and estrogen will increase significantly. For the breasts, all changes begin: the milk production and transportation tissues immediately begin to grow and develop vigorously.

Signs and omens: You won’t feel anything obvious at first, but changes in your body will soon make you react. Many women also experience a feeling of heaviness, tenderness, and tightness in their breasts -- the first sign of pregnancy. Some people feel that the breast pain is similar to that before menstruation, but it is more intense.

What to do: There is nothing special to do, just test whether you are pregnant. Applying ice may help relieve breast pain and tension.
