Breasts are one of the most iconic female organs and they play many roles for women. After giving birth, women need to feed their babies through their breasts. However, women's breasts are also a relatively fragile organ and are more prone to problems. It is quite common to have a burning sensation in the breast. There are many reasons for this situation. It may be caused by mastitis, breast cancer, damage to the nerves around the breast, etc. Let's take a detailed look at what is going on. Cause: 1. Mastitis Mastitis is one of the breast infection diseases. Its main cause is inflammation caused by blocked milk ducts. Therefore, mastitis patients often occur in breastfeeding mothers. The main symptoms of mastitis patients are: local redness, swelling and pain on one side of the breast, a burning sensation, and possibly accompanied by symptoms of increased temperature. 2. High blood sugar High blood sugar is a potential factor that causes a burning sensation that occurs not only in the breasts but also extends to the armpits. Because the nerve function of diabetic patients is affected, causing them to experience symptoms of itching, pain, and burning sensation. 3. Inflammatory breast cancer When breast cancer patients have inflammation, they may also experience a burning sensation in their breasts, but this phenomenon is less common. The main symptoms of this type of patients may be manifested as accumulation of lymph fluid in the breasts, which obstructs the lymphatic vessels. The swollen area may feel red, warm, itchy, and burning. 4. Peripheral nerve damage Peripheral nerve damage is also one of the possible factors for breast burning sensation. This nerve damage may be caused by diabetes, drug treatment, or chemotherapy. Because when the human body's nerves are damaged, it will cause the brain to transmit wrong information, causing a burning sensation in the breasts. 5. How to care for your breasts 1. Breast cleaning and care You should pay special attention to your breasts when showering every day. Doctors suggest that women should use a special bath brush to clean the nipples and areola, which is especially important for women with congenital retracted nipples. Then, using the nipple as the base, use a body brush to perform a rotating massage on the breast, which not only affects blood circulation, but also finely sloughs off the upper layer of dead skin. In addition, you can also use cold and hot water alternately to rinse the breasts to enhance the blood circulation of the breasts, which is very helpful in maintaining the elasticity and firmness of the breasts. 2. Breast self-examination Develop a good habit of performing breast self-examination every month. The specific method is as follows: 1. Check in front of the mirror. Stand with your arms hanging down on both sides, and observe the shape of your breasts. Check whether the normal curved outline becomes irregular, whether there are small orange peel-like dimples, or small dimples. Check whether there is liquid overflowing from the nipple when kneading it. If the above conditions occur, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. 2. Check in lying position. Lie flat on the bed, use your nipples as the base, and use your fingertips to massage the skin in a clockwise circular motion. When checking, apply force evenly, so that your fingers can touch the ribs. If you find any nodules or lumps, you need to go to the hospital for further examination. |
