Why are there so many bumps on my nipples?

Women's nipples are relatively private and they will not easily let others see them except their lovers. Therefore, if there is any problem with your nipples, only you will know it. When taking a bath, female friends sometimes observe their nipples, not only to see their characteristics but also their color. So, some women find that there are small particles on their nipples when they observe them. What is this disease?

It may be nipple discharge. There are physiological and pathological differences in nipple discharge:

Physiological nipple discharge in women is common in newborns. Abnormal mental stimulation and trauma, surgery, frequent local nipple stimulation, diabetes, oral contraceptives, etc. can all cause this physiological milk discharge in women.

Nipple discharge is a common symptom of breast disease and can be divided into physiological discharge and pathological discharge. Physiological discharge refers to lactation during pregnancy and lactation, bilateral nipple discharge caused by oral contraceptives or sedatives, and unilateral or bilateral small amounts of discharge in postmenopausal women. Pathological discharge refers to intermittent or persistent nipple discharge from one or more ducts on one or both sides under non-physiological circumstances, lasting from months to years.

Causes

1. Diencephalic diseases or pituitary lesions, such as diencephalic tumors and adjacent tissue tumors, prolactin adenoma, pineal tumor, hyperpituitarism, acromegaly, etc.;

2. Endocrine system diseases, such as primary hypothyroidism, adrenal tumor, etc.;

3. Chest diseases, such as chronic mastitis, chest herpes zoster, etc.;

4. Side effects of drugs, such as chlorpromazine, morphine, reserpine, metoclopramide, metoclopramide and contraceptives, can cause endocrine dysfunction in the human body, stimulate prolactin secretion, and lead to breast discharge;

5. Local stimulation of the breast and systemic stress response, such as frequent playing or sucking of nipples, severe mental trauma and other factors, can also lead to a transient increase in prolactin and cause breast discharge.
