2 What causes breast pain and nipple itching?

Generally speaking, nipple pain is mostly related to friction. Because there are only milk ducts and no milk tissue in the nipple, there will be no pain before and after menstruation. The main symptoms are unbearable nipple itching or pain before, during or after menstruation, which is so severe that women cannot wear clothes. The itching gradually improves after the menstruation ends. This is called itchy and painful nipples during menstruation. The nipple belongs to the liver, so this disease is mainly attributed to the liver. The main causes of nipple itching are qi stagnation, blood stasis and qi and blood deficiency. It manifests in women experiencing unbearable nipple itching or pain before, during or after menstruation, which makes them unable to wear clothes. The itching gradually improves after the period ends. This is also called "nipple itching and pain during menstruation."

The most common cause of nipple pain is that the bra is too tight, which causes friction on the nipples (because they protrude) and causes slight abrasions on the surface. Because the nipple is an extremely sensitive area, even a slight abrasion can cause pain. This pain is more common after menstruation because the breasts proliferate during menstruation, causing the breasts to enlarge slightly, which in turn aggravates the friction on the nipples. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a suitable bra. Also, be sure to take off the bra when you go to bed at night to let your breasts "relax". Breast health is very important.
