What causes nipple pain before menstruation?

Irregular menstruation can always affect women's bodies, so women must know how to take care of themselves during menstruation. They must not eat things that they cannot eat. If they eat things that they cannot eat during menstruation, it is easy to cause abnormal menstruation and may cause stomach pain. If stomach pain occurs, women should not think about taking medicine at the first time, because taking medicine during menstruation may also cause abnormal menstruation. If you have stomach pain, you can try to drink some water to relieve the pain. If it is really not good, go to the hospital to seek help from the doctor. So, what causes nipple pain after menstruation?

What causes nipple pain after menstruation?

This is mainly because 1 to 2 weeks before menstruation, the body's estrogen level increases, breast hyperplasia, body cell enlargement, and edema of the breast interstitial tissue are caused. After the onset of menstruation, the level of estrogen in a woman's body decreases, the breasts become softer and looser, and the swelling and pain gradually subsides. Therefore, premenstrual breast pain is a relatively normal condition.

Having said that, we cannot ignore breast care. Because many gynecological diseases also cause symptoms of breast pain, we should pay great attention to premenstrual breast pain and treat it in a reasonable way.

If the breast pain is really uncomfortable, you can try hot compress, which can promote blood circulation and dredge meridians, and help relieve the pain and swelling. The method is to wrap a hand warmer with a cotton towel and apply it to the chest. In addition to hot compresses, girls can also massage their breasts vigorously one week before their period to promote blood circulation. The specific method is to first use the palms of both hands to gently cover one breast from the top and bottom, then tighten both hands, and use the thumbs located at the base of the breasts to push the breasts up from the bottom, repeating 10 times up and down.

Some studies have shown that women who give up coffee can relieve breast pain, so girls should drink less coffee on a daily basis. In addition, it is best not to eat cold or cold foods a week before menstruation, so as not to cause blood circulation problems and aggravate breast pain symptoms. Because the human body will be relatively afraid of cold and more susceptible to cold during menstruation, girls should be careful not to wash their hair with cold water during menstruation and do a good job of keeping warm to prevent blood circulation and cause breast pain.
