Hardness and pain of nipples may be physiological or pathological.
Physiological hardness and pain are commonly seen around menstruation, postpartum, pregnancy, and during sexual activity. Pathological conditions are usually breast diseases, such as breast hyperplasia, or nipple allergies or nipple inflammation. Pathological nipple hardness and pain should be taken seriously, and one should promptly go to the hospital to determine the specific cause and undergo targeted treatment.
1. When nipples are hard and painful, besides going to the hospital for examination and treatment, you can also relieve the pain through massage. Massage can push excess fluid in the breasts back into the circulatory system, which can achieve the purpose of relieving nipple pain. You can apply some soapy liquid to the breasts during massage, which can increase the lubrication of the skin and avoid damage to the breast skin.
2. When nipples are hard and painful, it is recommended to wear a firm bra, which can not only prevent breast sagging but also reduce the pressure on the breasts. Especially when running, wearing a firm bra can effectively protect the health of the breasts.
3. Hot compresses can also be used to relieve nipple pain. The process of hot compresses can promote local blood circulation, not only relieving pain but also having no side effects on the body. It is important to properly care for your breasts in daily life to reduce the occurrence of breast diseases.
