About itchy and peeling areola

Pregnant women will encounter many problems during the childbirth process. Having a child is very difficult for a woman and is accompanied by huge physical effects. Some pregnant women may experience itchy and peeling nipples. Do you know why? Let's take a look at some explanations about these body changes!

1. If the areola is itchy, dry and peeling all the time, it may be eczema or fungal infection. Keeping it clean and dry can improve the condition. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis, and qi and blood deficiency. Suggestions: Keep the nipples and areola clean and dry. If it itches or peels severely, see a dermatologist.

2. It is normal to have a little itchy breasts during pregnancy. It may be caused by breast swelling. It’s okay. Before 8 months of pregnancy, you can wipe your nipples with warm water every day to prevent nipple cracks in the future. Avoid stimulating the breasts and nipples in the later stages of pregnancy, as nipple stimulation can easily cause uterine contractions, leading to premature birth.

3. Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the female breast. It often occurs in women aged 40 to 60, before and after menopause. What are the symptoms of breast cancer? The main manifestation of breast cancer is a lump in the breast. The lump has certain characteristics: it is hard in texture, not very smooth in surface, and has unclear boundaries. There is no obvious pain in the lump, but a small number of patients will have dull pain or stabbing pain. Another characteristic is that the lump will continue to grow larger.

The main treatment for breast cancer is surgery, which can be combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy after surgery, as well as traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine, such as ginsenoside Rh2, can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, induce apoptosis and differentiation, shrink tumors, improve the success rate of surgery, reduce the occurrence of surgical complications, and prevent recurrence and metastasis.

What are the symptoms of breast cancer? The clinical manifestations include: 1. Lumps; 2. Nipple discharge; 3. Changes in breast shape; 4. Changes in nipples; 5. Pain; 6. Skin changes; 7. Enlarged axillary lymph nodes, local skin has "orange peel-like" changes, itchy skin, watery skin, and nipple rot over time.
