What causes nipple swelling and pain

1. Some female friends often have symptoms of nipple pain, so what exactly is causing nipple pain? Is it some disease? In fact, there are four main symptoms of nipple pain, and different symptoms have different manifestations.

2. Some female friends have paroxysmal nipple pain, and the pain often starts before menstruation or worsens before menstruation, and can be relieved or disappear after menstruation. The pain is distending or stabbing, and sometimes may involve the armpit or shoulder and back on the same side. If there is mild to moderate tenderness locally, it is considered to be a proliferative lesion.

3. Some female friends have persistent severe pain in the nipples. Generally speaking, if there is sudden, persistent, and severe pain in the nipple, accompanied by obvious tenderness, what is the cause of this nipple pain? If there is such a symptom, various acute infectious diseases of the breast may be considered; if there is local throbbing pain, it may be that the local area has become purulent.

4. Some female friends experience particularly painful nipples during breastfeeding, and their nipples may break and crack. So what causes nipple pain? In fact, this may be caused by nipple cracking due to the baby sucking and biting the nipple.

5. Irregular nipple pain is also a common symptom. If the nipple pain is only mild or dull pain, the onset has no obvious regularity, and is only occasional or paroxysmal, and some are continuous, it is often ignored because the pain is not obvious. It should be noted that such nipple pain may also be a signal of early breast malignant disease and should be given enough attention. Sometimes, there is no obvious pain in the nipple, but only pain in one armpit or shoulder or back, which may be a malignant lesion. These subtle changes should not be easily ignored.
