What is the reason for my itchy nipples recently?

Nowadays, you may encounter the phenomenon of itchy nipples in your life. When this happens, most people may think that it is caused by uncleanness, but in fact this is only a small part of the reasons. If you don’t understand the real reason, it may affect your body, and you cannot regulate your body in time. This is very bad for your body. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons for itchy nipples.

Physiological changes

1. After a woman becomes pregnant, starting from the early stages of pregnancy, the color of her nipples and areolas will deepen, gradually changing from light red to dark brown. This change is mainly due to the increase in estrogen and progesterone in the body after pregnancy, and is a normal physiological change.

2. For some women, even when they are not pregnant, the color of their nipples and areolas gradually deepens from pink-brown to dark brown. A breast examination may not reveal any lesions, but this color change indicates that the woman has a "transient" increase in estrogen in her body. Perhaps after a period of time, due to self-regulation, the estrogen level returns to normal, and the color of the nipples and areola also returns to normal. This is still a normal physiological change.

Pathological changes

1. The color of the nipples and areolas deepens, accompanied by severe itching around the nipples and areolas. During breast examination, hyperplastic lesions or cystic hyperplastic lesions may be found in both or one breast.

The darkening of the color of the nipple and areola indicates an increase in the level of estrogen in the body. It is consistent with the law of disease occurrence for the breast, which is a target organ.

2. The color of the nipple and areola simply deepens to dark brown or black brown. Even small nodules may be found around the areola glands, forming protrusions. At this time, there is no lesion when examining the breasts.

After knowing why your nipples itch, you will know how to regulate them. This is very good for girls' bodies, and timely regulation can help the body become healthier and healthier. After all, breasts are more important to women, so you must have knowledge in this area and pay enough attention to it.
