What is the cause of the itchy left nipple?

Breasts have special meanings for women. However, data show that in recent years, the number of women suffering from various breast diseases or breast-related diseases has increased. So from a health perspective, women should learn to take care of themselves, in addition to going to the hospital for relevant examinations as normal. We should also pay attention to changes in breasts on a daily basis, so what causes itchy nipples? When this happens, what should we pay attention to?

During the normal metabolism process, the breast will inevitably produce some metabolic products, similar to oil-like substances. When metabolism is active, these substances accumulate on the skin surface and can easily cause breast itching. When symptoms of breast itching occur, it may be a manifestation of some breast disease, or it may simply be caused by external factors.

1. What diseases may it be:

Breast eczema: To be precise, breast eczema belongs half to the category of skin diseases and half to the category of breast diseases. Simple breast eczema will not cause substantial damage to breast health. As long as you pay attention to cleaning the breasts and the skin around them, and apply some ointment or take some medicine when necessary, you will be fine. However, it is worth noting that eczematoid breast cancer is often manifested as unilateral eczema that does not heal for a long time. In the early stage, the nipple may be itchy or accompanied by a burning sensation, and then the nipple, areola and surrounding skin will become red and eroded, and there will often be yellow-brown or gray scaly crusts attached to the surface. In the later stage, a lump may be felt.

Therefore, when breast itching occurs, do not take it lightly. Seeking medical attention in time will minimize the damage.

2. How to relieve breast itching?

Breast itching may be a sign of disease, or it may just be some simple physiological reaction. However, in any case, the appearance of this symptom is nothing more than a reminder for women to pay attention to breast health or pay attention to some improper habits in life. Of course, you also need to develop some habits.

1. Develop healthy eating habits. In terms of both the quality and quantity of diet, eating without restraint or eating junk food will undoubtedly increase the body's metabolic burden and increase the production of metabolic waste. Therefore, a reasonable diet is the basis of health.

2. Develop a healthy schedule. Sufficient and good sleep is an indispensable condition to ensure immunity. It is not advisable to go to bed later than 11 o'clock at night. The sleep time should be at least 8 hours to be considered healthy sleep. If the sleep time is insufficient or the sleep quality is poor, then the immunity will be weakened on the one hand, and the endocrine system will also lose balance. Changes in the endocrine system will directly affect the health of the breasts.
