What causes itchy nipples and breast pain?

Be careful about itchy and painful nipples as it may be breast hyperplasia. Some female friends are in a bad mood and always look depressed, which causes endocrine dysfunction in the body and reduced hormone secretion. The breast will receive more stimulation from myosin, which can easily lead to breast hyperplasia, and the breasts will feel itchy and painful. There are many other problems that can cause breast nipple pain and itching. Please see the introduction below.

Breast tenderness during pregnancy: Some women experience breast tenderness around 40 days after pregnancy because the placenta and villi secrete large amounts of estrogen, progesterone, and prolactin, which cause breast hyperplasia and breast enlargement. In severe cases, the pain may last throughout the pregnancy and no treatment is needed. Premenstrual breast pain: More than half of women experience breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness before menstruation. In severe cases, the breasts may become swollen and painful even with the slightest vibration or collision, and the original granular or nodular feeling becomes more obvious. This is caused by increased estrogen levels in the body before menstruation, breast hyperplasia, and edema of the breast interstitial tissue. The above changes may disappear after menstruation.

Breast tenderness after abortion: After abortion, some women complain of breast tenderness and a lump. This is because the pregnancy is suddenly interrupted, and the hormone levels in the body drop sharply, causing the newly developed mammary glands to suddenly stop growing, resulting in breast lumps and breast pain. Breast tenderness after sexual intercourse: This is related to the physiological changes in the breasts during sexual intercourse. People with low libido or disharmonious sex life cannot achieve sexual satisfaction, so breast congestion and swelling are not easy to subside, or they subside incompletely. Continuous congestion will cause breast pain. Therefore, women should attach importance to a good sex life, and those who have no orgasm or low sexual desire should seek medical attention.

There are many reasons for nipple itching and pain, such as long-term compression of the nipples, which compresses the blood vessels, lymph and nerves distributed on the breasts, slows down metabolism, hinders blood return, causes breast ischemia, and finally the waste produced by metabolism is not easily removed from the breasts in time, so the nipples will feel itchy and painful.
