Why is my chest itchy and painful?

Women's breasts are a very sensitive area and are more prone to problems. In addition to the typical symptom of pain, there may also be an itchy feeling. There are many reasons for chest itching and pain. Each person’s situation is different and the reasons are different. We can understand them systematically and make a comprehensive judgment based on our own situation. So, what causes itchy and painful breasts in women? Let’s take a closer look at it.

There are also some women who obviously pay attention to breast cleanliness and wear loose and breathable underwear, so why do they have breast itching problems? In fact, this has a lot to do with the cleaning products we usually use, especially some alkaline shower gels, which will destroy the keratinized cells on the surface of the breast skin, causing the skin around the breast to become drier and drier, resulting in an itchy feeling.

It is recommended that women should actively clean their breasts in daily life and pay attention to breast hygiene and health. When cleaning the breasts, you only need to use warm boiled water to clean them. There is no need to use shower gel, especially alkaline shower gel. Regularly cleaning the breasts with warm water can not only keep the breasts clean, but also stimulate blood circulation around the breasts.

Women's choice of underwear is also related to the health of their breasts. When choosing underwear, remember to focus not on style but comfort. Try not to choose underwear made of chemical fiber materials that are not breathable. Try to choose underwear made of cotton materials. It is also recommended to take off your underwear as much as possible when sleeping at night.

All adult women, regardless of whether they have children or not, are advised to have a professional breast examination at least once a year if conditions permit. It is also recommended that all women over 45 years old have a chest X-ray once a year.

Don't let your partner touch your breasts forcefully. Even during sex, ask him to control his emotions and strength. Remember not to use too much force, otherwise it can easily cause breast damage.

Regularly perform breast self-examination

1. If you find any lumps or deformations in your breasts, you must seek medical attention immediately. You can check by standing in front of a mirror with your breasts lowered. Pay attention to the shape of the breasts, whether they are in a normal arc shape, whether there is liquid flowing out when squeezing, whether there are small depressions on the breasts, etc. If so, it means that there may be problems with the breasts.

2. Check in supine position: lie on the bed, with the nipple as the center, and then do circular massage in a clockwise manner close to the skin. When checking, pay attention to whether the force is uniform. If any nodules or lumps are found, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination.
