What causes nipple pain during development?

Breasts are women's reproductive organs and one of the characteristics of gender. Breasts are very important to women, and they often cause women to face many breast problems, which cause harm to their health. Some women who are in the developmental stage may encounter breast problems. For example, nipple pain is a common example. Let's take a look at what causes nipple pain during development.

The earliest onset of breast pain in adolescent girls usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, the girl's breasts begin to develop. First, the nipple swells, and then a dome-shaped lump about the size of a pea or a bean appears in the breast tissue under the nipple, which is slightly swollen and painful. After menarche, it will disappear on its own as the breasts mature.

After entering puberty, the girl's body secretes a large amount of estrogen. When estrogen acts on the breasts, it will promote the increase of mammary glands and stimulate the development of milk ducts, which will increase the number of blood vessels and enhance the permeability of capillaries. Under the action of estrogen, the breasts begin to fill with water, and the breasts begin to tighten and stand upright. At this time, the female breasts begin to develop. First, the nipple swells, and a round lump about the size of a pea or a bean appears in the breast tissue, with a slight feeling of distension and pain. During this process, the breasts become extremely sensitive and usually feel tight. If they are compressed by external force, they will be particularly painful.

As the breasts gradually develop and mature, the body will secrete another hormone called progesterone, which can mitigate the effects of estrogen, prevent breast proliferation, and reduce edema, so that the breasts tend to balance and are no longer particularly painful. After menarche, it disappears on its own as the breasts mature during puberty.

Of course, many women have experienced breast swelling and pain when menstruation comes. It's the same principle. During menstruation, the estrogen content in the human body begins to increase, breaking the balance, so there will be swelling and pain, which will return to normal as the menstruation passes.

Generally, adolescent women may experience breast pain at this stage. In order to relieve the effects of the pain, you can gently massage the breasts to allow excess body fluids to return to the lymphatic system. When massaging, you can apply some soapy liquid on the breasts and use your fingers to circulate on the surface of the breasts and slowly stroke them. This is very effective in preventing breast discomfort.
