What are the symptoms of nipple pain at the age of 46?

Many female friends have experienced breast pain when touched, but everyone knows very little about this situation, especially some female friends whose symptoms are not obvious and who do not experience it often think that this is normal and therefore do not go for examination and treatment. In fact, this idea is wrong, because breast pain when touched is caused by breast hyperplasia, and treatment measures should be taken immediately. So, what is nipple pain?

1. Fungal infection of nipple skin and fungal infection of nipple skin. This kind of situation is very common. The pathogen that causes inflammation is mainly Staphylococcus aureus. The inflammation can spread to the skin and nipple skin and even cause purulent infection. This condition is more likely to occur in breastfeeding women. If neglected, it will develop into mastitis. Chinese medicine calls this disease nipple wind. This disease should be checked and treated regularly by the breast surgery or dermatology department of the hospital.

2. Nipple fistula during the non-breastfeeding period. This type of disease occurs in the skin around the nipple. The large mammary tube around the nipple becomes diseased due to local infection. Both men and women may become ill. Because of repeated local infections, fistulas eventually occur, causing nipple and nipple skin cysts and large breast granulomas. The disease has a long history. The longest history of the disease can be as long as 20 years. Most patients have a history of 1 to 3 years. Simple antibiotic treatment has no effect and surgical treatment is necessary.

3. Occult breast cancer. This disease is a very unique type of breast cancer. In clinical medicine, it is manifested as breast cancer without lumps but with cancer metastasis. This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly people or middle-aged women, and the cure rate is about 70%.

What causes nipple pain? Patients with breast pain should also pay attention to maintaining a healthy diet and work and rest schedule during the medication period. They should not stay up late or have too much stress. They should eat light dishes, wear loose and breathable underwear, and do a good job of hygiene.
