After becoming pregnant, women are most worried about changes in their bodies because they are not sure if these changes are normal physiological phenomena. They are afraid that abnormal changes will affect them. Recently, a pregnant woman found that her nipples were painful, so she wanted to know what happened when her nipples were particularly painful during pregnancy?
After pregnancy, the impact of hormonal changes in female receptors, stimulated by estrogen and progesterone, can promote the proliferation and development of breast acini and lobules, causing the breasts to continuously enlarge. This can cause women to feel symptoms of breast swelling or nipple pain, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the nipples are particularly painful and accompanied by nipple redness and swelling, nipple inflammation and infection should be considered.
To diagnose the condition, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and local medication under the guidance of a doctor. Apply some ointments with anti-inflammatory effects. Keep the breasts clean and hygienic in daily life, adjust the diet, and eat light and nutritious food. Do not eat volatile foods, oily, fried, spicy and irritating foods to avoid aggravating inflammation problems and promoting health recovery.
If you experience breast swelling and pain during pregnancy, you can use a hot towel to apply hot compress. When applying hot compress, you should avoid the nipple and areola to avoid burns. The duration of each hot compress should not exceed 10 minutes. After applying hot compress, you can also massage the breast to effectively alleviate breast swelling and pain symptoms. During pregnancy, in addition to the breast becoming soft and large, the superficial veins of the breast skin will dilate and become congested, the nipple will become sensitive and firm, and the color of the nipple and areola will deepen, resulting in Montessori nodules.
