Have you ever felt a headache? When it hurts, it is really hard to wear a bra. When it hurts, what do you think is the cause? It is not always from a serious illness. Today you will know 5 reasons why your nipples hurt.
1. Allergic reactions : Because nipples are so sensitive, they can react with chemicals such as fabric soap or laundry detergent. So if you notice that your nipples hurt after changing your soap, it may just be an allergic reaction.
2. Inflammation of the breast : This is a serious condition that needs treatment. It is common during breastfeeding and leads to nipple and breast pain. You may also experience fatigue, chills and fever. When the milk stays in the breast for too long, it can lead to infection, which in turn causes inflammation of the breast.
3. Menstruation : Your hormones may become abnormal during menstruation, leading to soft and sore nipples. The good news, however, is that such pain is short-lived and you do not need to seek medical attention.
4. Fungal infections : This mostly happens to women who wear well-ventilated bras. Breastfeeding mothers are also at risk for fungal infections of the fetus. Fortunately, infections are easily treated with fungicides.
5. Pregnancy : Before you have miscarriage, your nipples may be the first sign that you are pregnant. So if you have not used birth control or have not exercised recently, you may want to consider getting a pregnancy test first when your nipples hurt.
