What causes left nipple to itch?

Women should not neglect the health and maintenance of their breasts, because many women nowadays are susceptible to the effects and harm of some breast diseases. For example, itchy left nipple is very common. Therefore, we need to understand what nipple itching is and how to solve it to reduce the harm it causes. This will help better protect women's breasts from harm.

There are many reasons for itchy nipples. Since nipples belong to the liver, the liver is mainly responsible for itchy nipples. 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." In treatment, it is important to note that nipple itching can be either real or false. Excessive syndrome is mostly caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, the disease occurs during menstruation, and the pain is worse than itching and swelling. Deficiency syndrome is mostly caused by qi and blood deficiency, the disease occurs during menstruation or after menstruation, and the itching is more severe than the pain. The treatment focuses first on regulating the liver to make its nature smooth and smooth, and is supplemented with drugs that nourish the liver yin in order to achieve a stable therapeutic effect.
