My nipples hurt when I touch them recently

If a woman's nipples hurt when touched recently, it may be because she is in her menstrual period or in the early stages of pregnancy. This is a normal physiological factor. The physiological factor can relieve nipple pain as long as this stage is passed. Women can relieve the pain by getting more rest and massaging their breasts. If it is not caused by physiological factors, it is generally caused by symptoms of mastitis or breast nodules. Women should check the health of their breasts.

1. Caused by menstruation: This kind of pain is obviously related to menstruation. Usually, it causes breast swelling and pain two or three days before menstruation due to increased blood supply, and gradually disappears after menstruation. Due to its obvious relationship with menstruation, it usually does not cause trouble to the person concerned.

2. Physiological factors: Pressure caused by an inappropriate bra, which can be relieved by changing the bra. Excessive breast size causes hanging and discomfort. Pain caused by breast trauma.

3. Pathological factors: Redness, swelling, heat and pain caused by breast inflammation and infection. Mastitis is particularly prone to occur during lactation. Proper treatment (such as administration of antibiotics and appropriate massage) can quickly relieve the symptoms. Breast cancer itself rarely causes pain. Pain is only caused when the cancer progresses and invades nearby tissues such as the skin or chest wall. Therefore, if you have breast pain, you may try to find the cause yourself based on the above possibilities. However, if there is no obvious cause and the pain persists, it is necessary to seek the help of a professional doctor immediately.

In addition to preventing breast sagging, the more important function of a bra is to prevent further compression of the already compressed breast nerves and eliminate discomfort. Careful sisters will find that those jogging athletes wear stable bras for this health reason. High-salt foods can easily cause breast enlargement, and such foods should be avoided especially in the 7 to 10 days before menstruation. The above is the relevant information collected by the editor for everyone.

How should women prevent nipple pain in their daily lives?

1. Keep a happy mood. If you are in a good mood, your ovaries maintain normal ovulation, and progesterone secretion is normal, the mammary glands will not proliferate due to the unilateral stimulation of estrogen. The already proliferated mammary glands will gradually recover under the action of progesterone, thus reducing the occurrence of breast pain.

2. Regular check-ups and appropriate exercise. Performing a breast self-examination once a month, going to a professional institution for regular breast examinations, doing appropriate breast massage every time you bathe, and doing 5 minutes of chest expansion exercises every day can prevent breast diseases and avoid breast pain caused by breast diseases.

3. Harmonious sex life. A harmonious sex life can regulate endocrine, stimulate the secretion of progesterone, increase the protection and repair of the breast. Orgasm stimulation can also accelerate blood circulation and prevent breast hyperplasia due to poor blood circulation.

4. Healthy eating habits. Follow the "low-fat, high-fiber" dietary principle, eat more whole-grain foods, beans and vegetables, consume at least 30g of fiber every day, control the intake of animal protein, and pay attention to supplementing appropriate trace elements.

5. Take vitamins. The diet should contain foods rich in vitamin C and B vitamins. These vitamins help regulate the production of prostaglandin E. At the same time, eat less margarine, because the hydrogenated fat in it will interfere with the body's ability to convert essential fatty acids into Y-linoleic acid, thereby inhibiting the production of prolactin.

6. Important pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnancy leads to sufficient secretion of progesterone, which can effectively protect and repair the mammary glands, while breastfeeding can make the mammary glands fully develop and degenerate well after the child is weaned, making them less likely to proliferate.
