Nipple pain in a woman in her 40s

Some female friends often suffer from nipple pain, so what exactly is nipple pain? Is it a disease? In fact, there are four main symptoms of nipple pain, and different symptoms have different manifestations.

Some female friends have paroxysmal nipple pain, and the pain usually starts before menstruation or worsens before menstruation, and may be relieved or disappear after menstruation. The pain is distending or stabbing, and sometimes may extend to the armpit or shoulder and back in the same direction. Some patients have mild to moderate dull pain, which is considered to be a proliferative space-occupying lesion.

Some female friends also have persistent severe pain in the nipples. Generally speaking, if there is sudden, persistent, and relatively strong pain in the nipple, and accompanied by obvious dull pain, what is the cause of this nipple pain? If there is such a symptom, it is considered to be various subacute infectious diseases of the breast; if there is throbbing pain in the part, it may be that the part has become purulent.

Some female friends experience very painful nipples during breastfeeding, and their nipples may become crushed and cracked. So what causes nipple pain? In fact, this may be due to dry and cracked nipples caused by infants and young children sucking and biting their nipples.

Irregular nipple pain is a relatively common symptom. If the nipple pain is only a slight dull pain or a dull ache, with no obvious periodicity, and is only intermittent or paroxysmal, or sometimes continuous, it is often ignored because the pain is not obvious. It should be noted that such nipple pain may also be a signal of early breast malignancy and should be taken seriously. Sometimes, there is no obvious pain in the nipple, but only pain in one armpit or shoulder. It is also possible to be malignant. These subtle changes should not be ignored.
