Why Does Nipple Pain Occur, and When Should You Be Concerned? - #15280
Lately, I’ve been experiencing nipple pain, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. I know that breast tenderness is common during certain times of the month, but this discomfort feels different. What are the most common causes of nipple pain, and when should it be a reason for concern? I read that nipple pain can happen due to hormonal changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, infections, allergies, or even friction from clothing. How can I tell if it’s just a temporary sensitivity issue or something that needs medical attention? I also came across information that nipple pain can sometimes be linked to conditions like mastitis, eczema, Paget’s disease, or even breast cancer. Are there specific symptoms that indicate whether nipple pain is a serious issue or just a minor irritation? Are there any natural or Ayurvedic remedies that can help relieve nipple pain? I’ve heard that coconut oil, aloe vera, turmeric paste, and warm compresses can soothe breast tenderness and nipple sensitivity—do these actually work? If anyone has experienced nipple pain, what was the cause, and how did you manage it? Did lifestyle changes or home remedies help, or did you need medical treatment?
