Nipple pain after ovulation

It is a normal physiological phenomenon for women to experience breast pain during ovulation, which is mainly caused by the stimulation of progesterone. However, after ovulation, progesterone decreases and the breasts will no longer hurt. You can massage your breasts appropriately during this period, which will help you relieve breast pain. Let us now look at what causes breast pain.

Why do nipples hurt after ovulation?

It is completely normal to have nipple pain during ovulation. The most painful moment is before and after ovulation, and it hurts when you touch it with your hand. The luteal phase is slightly less intense until menstruation occurs.

The pain is the worst before and after ovulation. I don’t know if it’s the effect of estrogen. Estrogen levels are highest before and on the day of ovulation. After the corpus luteum is formed, due to the effect of progesterone, estrogen is not as high as before ovulation, so nipple pain is slightly relieved, but it will exist until menstruation comes.

The breast is the target organ of endocrine hormones, which means that under normal circumstances, that is, during endocrine changes in the menstrual cycle, breast tissue will be affected by endocrine hormones and undergo physiological changes. The breast will undergo cyclical proliferation and involution during the menstrual cycle, which manifests as fullness and mild pain in the breast before menstruation. The breast pain will be reduced or disappear after menstruation. This physiological change is a normal phenomenon for women of childbearing age, but the degree of breast pain varies from person to person.

What changes will occur in the breast after the fertilized egg implants?

This symptom may appear within the first few days after conception. If you suddenly don't recognize your breasts, you might be pregnant. Don’t worry! After your body adjusts to the influx of hormones, this pain will subside and your breasts will no longer feel uncomfortable. So when the fertilized egg implants, you can feel some changes in your breasts, usually breast swelling and tenderness in the nipples.

The ovulation period is a critical period for women who want to have a child, and the pregnancy rate is higher during this period. During the ovulation period, you should control your emotions, avoid being too happy or angry, and at the same time take good care of your breasts to avoid getting sick.
