What is the reason for the nipple to be hard and painful?

Nips that are always hard may be caused by lobular hyperplasia or fibroids of the breast. Therefore, when these uncomfortable symptoms occur, female friends should pay attention to understanding the correct cause. Only based on the cause can they know how to treat and solve the problem scientifically. However, it is not recommended to use medication indiscriminately to avoid adverse effects. You should follow the doctor's treatment recommendations.

1. Breast lumps may appear in many cases, such as lobular hyperplasia, fibroma, etc. You need to go to the hospital for targeted examinations, early diagnosis and early treatment.

2. When people feel a lump in their breast, their first reaction is "Do I have breast cancer?" But in fact, swelling, pain or a lump in the breast does not necessarily mean that they have breast cancer. There is still a considerable gap between the two. Breast diseases are generally emphasized in health education on women. In fact, although men have a lower chance of developing breast cancer, men also have breasts, and of course all breast problems can also occur in men.

3. Once you find a lump or swelling and pain in your breast, don't panic. You can observe it for a few days. If tenderness or obvious lumps occur, you need to see a breast surgeon and ask the doctor to examine you carefully. You should also communicate fully with the doctor to thoroughly understand the cause of the swelling, pain and lumps.

4. Breast pain is partly due to the stimulation of the mammary glands by estrogen and progesterone, which causes breast swelling. Sometimes there may also be nipple pain and transparent secretions. This usually occurs before menstruation and disappears after the end of menstruation.

5. Some people experience irregular swelling and pain in the breast. This type of breast pain does not necessarily mean a breast tumor. Even if a lump can be felt in the breast, it does not necessarily mean breast cancer. Because breast cancer rarely causes pain or other obvious symptoms in the early stages, early detection can only be done through breast self-examination and mammography. Breast cancer will not cause pain unless it has grown large enough to invade the nerves around the chest wall. Therefore, most occasional breast pain can be treated with regular medical examinations and there is no need to be too anxious.
