What causes itchy nipples?

A woman's breasts not only represent her femininity, but they are also a tool for feeding the next generation. Some pregnant women may feel itchy nipples on one side during pregnancy, which may make them worry whether there is something wrong with their body and whether it will affect breastfeeding. So, what is the reason for an itchy nipple on one side?

What causes an itchy nipple?

1. There are many reasons why women have itchy nipples. Some people have itchy nipples due to liver problems. The solution is naturally to start with the liver, that is, to maintain the physical and mental health of the liver to make the nipples itchy.

It mainly manifests itself in women experiencing unbearable nipple itching or pain around the time of their menarche or during their menstrual period, which can prevent them from wearing clothes. The symptoms gradually subside after the period ends. This is also called "progressive nipple itching."

2. Nipple itching is on the one hand caused by the influence of clothing and allergic symptoms to certain materials, and on the other hand it is caused by endocrine effects. It is generally related to the skin. Sometimes itching may not indicate any problems.

3. Some people also have mild nipple itching, which means it does not happen often. Sometimes they feel a little itchy. If there are no other symptoms and there are no small papules or red spots on them, it is normal. Unless it reaches an unbearable level, you need to go to the hospital.

Women experience unbearable nipple itching or pain around the time of their menarche or during their menstrual period, which can prevent them from wearing clothes. The pain gradually improves after the period ends. This is called "progressive nipple itching." The nipple belongs to the liver, so the key to this disease is the liver. The main causes of this disease are qi deficiency, blood stasis and deficiency of both qi and blood.

1. Deficiency of Qi and Blood

After the menstrual period, women are accustomed to drinking blood, and the dirty blood cannot be cleared in time, which will cause blood deficiency. In the long run, the liver blood supply will be insufficient, the spleen will be weak and the qi will be deficient. Then the female nipples are also connected to the blood, so nipple pain and itching will occur.

2. Qi deficiency and blood stasis

Emotional damage, liver qi stagnation, poor blood circulation, and nipple stasis occur. When the disease is in progress, blood and qi are abundant, stasis worsens, and this leads to this disease.

Generally speaking, some girls may experience slight itching during the development of their breasts during puberty, but the level of itching is tolerable and should not be taken seriously. It is normal when it is not accompanied by the appearance of rashes and can be relieved by itself and is not that serious.

If the itching is severe and accompanied by rash, you should go to the hospital for examination. Generally, ultrasound can only detect whether there are tumors or other changes in the subcutaneous tissue and fat or in the breast.

Generally speaking, symptoms related to itching are usually rashes, especially in the early stages of breast cancer, which may also cause rashes, eczema, breast eczema, and other skin diseases;

For example, if you have skin allergies or other inflammations, or if there is none and you just have slight itching, these are small changes that occur during the development stage. Generally, there is no problem. If it gets worse, you can go to the hospital to see a doctor.
