Menopausal nipple pain

Menopause is the abbreviation of perimenopausal syndrome. I believe everyone has heard of this phenomenon. Women at this stage will show many special symptoms, and menopausal nipple pain is a typical one. Breast health is a big problem. Many women cannot distinguish whether it is a symptom of menopause or a breast disease. Correct identification and reasonable treatment can help us eliminate hidden dangers.

What causes nipple pain during menopause?

Under normal circumstances, if a woman has periodic breast pain before menopause, it will change with the changes in menstruation. After a period of menopause, the periodic breast pain and other symptoms should disappear due to the lack of estrogen stimulation. If breast pain occurs again after menopause, it usually occurs in the following situations:

(1) Breast pain during the period after menopause: This type of pain is generally nothing to be afraid of.

This is because during the menopause before menopause, the secretion of endogenous estrogen decreases rapidly, and the breast tissue cannot adapt to this change. Some corresponding changes may occur, such as local pain, nodules or glandular thickening.

This reaction may stop and disappear after menopause, or it may persist for a considerable period of time after menopause. There is no need to be nervous at this time. Generally, you only need to follow the doctor's advice for regular check-ups. If necessary, taking some medication to treat women's menopausal syndrome can relieve the pain.

(2) Breast pain reappears several years after menopause: As estrogen secretion decreases, breast pain generally does not occur. However, breast pain that occurs at this time must not be taken lightly.

Since elderly women after menopause have become a high-risk group for breast cancer, they should pay special attention and go to the hospital as soon as possible to check and confirm whether they have early symptoms of breast cancer so that they can be discovered and treated early, which will have a better prognosis.
