However, if your nipples hurt when you touch them during menstruation, it is best to pay attention to it and go to the hospital for examination in time.

Why do nipples hurt when touched during menstruation?

If you feel pain and discomfort in your nipples during menstruation, it may be due to breast hyperplasia or other breast problems. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

What causes breast tenderness?

1. During the menstrual cycle, many women will experience breast pain in the early stages of their period. There are many reasons for breast pain before menstruation, so specific examinations are still needed when symptoms occur.

2. If you have bad habits in your daily life, such as often overworking, staying up late, irregular eating habits, etc. All of these conditions can cause breast tenderness. Therefore, you need to adjust your life in time, develop good living habits, and eat less spicy and irritating foods, as spicy and irritating foods are bad for your health.

3. Sometimes, when work pressure is high, it will lead to mood swings. Large mood swings can cause breast pain, and at this time you need to relieve stress in time, ease your emotions, and maintain a good mood.

4. If there is breast hyperplasia or a tumor, breast pain will also occur. At this time, timely treatment is needed. If it is a tumor, it must be contained in time.

Differential diagnosis of breast tenderness

1. Patients with chest pain usually have inflammation in the chest wall. The skin of the affected area will be red, swollen, hot, and painful, and there will also be herpes zoster and a large number of small blisters. They are distributed along the nerves, and some may cause obvious pain.

2. Sometimes there will be severe pain in the chest and abdominal muscles, and the pain will radiate to the shoulders or neck. In non-suppurative myochondritis, the affected area may be painful and have severe swelling, but there is not much redness or swelling of the skin. Therefore, when these symptoms occur, they must be treated separately from breast pain.

3. The pain of angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction will be located behind the sternum or in the precordial area. The pain area for patients with diaphragmatic hernia, esophageal disease, and mediastinal tumors is also located behind the sternum. Spontaneous pneumothorax, acute pleurisy, and pulmonary infarction usually cause severe chest pain on the affected side. In esophagitis and diaphragmatic hernia, there is usually burning pain and a burning sensation.
