What causes itchy nipples in women?

If you want to see the charm of a woman, you need to see if she has beautiful and healthy breasts. Breasts are an important part of a woman's body and a source of self-confidence. Many surveys and studies have shown that people with healthy breasts are more confident than those with unhealthy breasts. Breast health has always been a concern for many people. When a woman's breast nipple feels painful or itchy, people will feel very worried. So what is the reason for female nipple pain and itching?

Causes of nipple pain and itching: 1. Nipple pain and itching are more common in adolescent women. The earliest breast pain in girls usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, girls' breasts begin to develop and they will have a slight feeling of pain. After menarche, as the breasts mature, the swelling and pain will disappear on their own. In general, breast swelling and pain in women are normal physiological changes, or they may be temporary manifestations during pregnancy or after childbirth. If the swelling and pain does not subside for a long time, or even becomes more severe, or if you find a lump with unevenness, unclear edges, and poor mobility when touching the breast, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

The second reason for nipple pain and itching is that premenstrual breast pain is an early and important signal of gynecological diseases. In general, female breasts are part of the reproductive system and are greatly affected by estrogen and progesterone. If the body's endocrine system or ovarian function is disturbed at a certain stage, it will affect the menstrual cycle and breast tissue, resulting in a series of diseases. The most common and mildest symptom is premenstrual breast swelling. If necessary conditioning or treatment is not given, more discomfort will occur, such as: premenstrual headaches, irritability, insomnia, even premenstrual body pain, mild edema, etc. If things go on like this, breast disease will develop, the most common of which is breast hyperplasia. Menstruation may also be disrupted, resulting in menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, which will lead to infertility.

The third reason for nipple pain and itching is that premenstrual breast pain is one of the symptoms of premenstrual tension syndrome. Patients with this disease experience breast or nipple pain and itching 7 to 14 days before menstruation, and may even be unable to touch clothes. There may be a lump when pressed, which disappears after menstruation. Patients may also experience chest and flank pain, lower abdominal pain, irritability, or menstrual disorders. The cause of nipple pain and itching is not yet clear. It may be related to endocrine factors, mental factors, liver disease, water and salt retention in the body, or abnormal release of endorphins, which disrupts the regulatory function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary-uterus axis or vitamin B deficiency in the body, all of which can induce nipple pain and itching.

Through the above introduction, we already have a deep understanding of the reasons why women experience nipple pain and itching. We also hope that our introduction can help more people have a better understanding of their breasts, and at the same time, actively protect their breast health. Breasts need to be taken care of by women themselves, so if women find such a situation, they must actively seek medical attention.
