Causes of Nipple Pain

In life, there are two reasons why women experience nipple pain: one is physiological factors and the other is pathological factors. Physiological factors are mainly caused by breast development, which mainly occur during pregnancy, menstruation, ovulation and other stages. This stage is due to the stimulation caused by the increased secretion of female hormones, while pathological factors are caused by breast hyperplasia and mastitis.

Causes of Nipple Pain

In daily life, there are many cases of breast pain in women, especially those who have entered or passed puberty. What is the reason? Generally speaking, there are several possibilities for breast pain:

1. Nipple pain caused by menstruation: This pain is obviously related to menstruation. It usually occurs two or three days before menstruation due to increased blood supply, causing breast swelling and pain, which gradually disappears after menstruation. Due to its obvious relationship with menstruation, it usually does not cause trouble to the person concerned.

2. Unsuitable bras cause nipple pain: An unsuitable bra can easily cause oppression. When women feel uncomfortable wearing it, their bodies will also react, which is nipple pain. However, this situation can be alleviated by changing the bra.

3. Nipple pain caused by large breasts in women: Excessive breast size causes drooping and causes discomfort.

4. Breast trauma leading to nipple pain: If women do not take good care of their breasts, it is easy to cause nipple pain when they are injured.

5. Nipple pain caused by breast inflammation in women: Redness, swelling, heat and pain caused by breast inflammation and infection. Mastitis is particularly prone to occur during lactation. Proper treatment (such as administration of antibiotics and appropriate massage) can quickly relieve the symptoms.

6. Female breast cancer causes nipple pain: Generally speaking, breast cancer itself rarely causes pain to patients. However, if breast cancer worsens and invades adjacent tissues such as the skin or chest wall, it can also cause breast pain in women.

Warm reminder: If women experience nipple pain, they may try to find the cause themselves based on the above points. If there is no obvious cause and the pain persists, it is necessary to seek the help of a professional doctor immediately.
