Why is itchy nipple on one side?

Breasts are a very important part of women. Sometimes, some women will feel one side of their nipples is very itchy. Sometimes, nipple itching is accidental, so girls don’t take it seriously. Finally, they start to regret it when it develops into a serious illness. There are many reasons why girls have unilateral nipple itching, including pathological changes and physiological changes. No matter what the reason is, girls should pay attention to it. Let’s talk about what causes unilateral nipple itching in women.

Why is the nipple itchy on one side? Physiological changes:

1. After a woman becomes pregnant, starting from the early stages of pregnancy, the color of her nipples and areolas will deepen, gradually changing from light red to dark brown. This change is mainly due to the increase in estrogen and progesterone in the body after pregnancy, and is a normal physiological change.

2. For some women (mostly between 30 and 45 years old), even when they are not pregnant, the color of their nipples and areolas gradually deepens from pink-brown to dark brown. A breast examination may not reveal any lesions, but this color change indicates that the woman has a "transient" increase in estrogen in her body. Perhaps after a period of time, due to self-regulation, the estrogen level returns to normal, and the color of the nipples and areola also returns to normal. This is still a normal physiological change.

In view of this, when examining the breasts, be sure to pay attention to changes in the color of the nipples and areolas. It is necessary to clarify whether the changes in the color of the nipples and areola are physiological or pathological, and make a clear diagnosis and active treatment based on the characteristics of the changes.
