Nipple is an important way to cultivate the next generation, and women should be vigilant when these abnormalities occur in their nipples. For example, nipple discharge, nipple itching, nipple long hair, etc. What else do you want to know? Let's take a look together.
1. Nipple itching
One type is nipple itching caused by eczema. Eczema may not be well-known, as dry skin, prolonged bathing time, skin care fragrances, wool, and various detergents are all allergens of eczema. There is no need to worry about nipple itching caused by eczema, and local treatment is recommended. On the one hand, avoiding and inducing the principle, and on the other hand, using steroid ointments for external use.
Another is nipple itching caused by Paget's disease. At this time, we must take it seriously. Because this disease is a rare skin cancer. Generally speaking, there are spots near the unilateral nipple and areola. It's a bit like a mesh, accompanied by itching or burning sensation, and sometimes some hard skin; Sometimes the nipples also secrete some yellow or bloodstained secretions. If you have such symptoms, you must seek medical attention immediately.
2. Nipple discharge
Here is a special reminder for non lactating women. If nipple discharge occurs, it should be taken seriously. The general colors of nipple discharge include clear, milky white, light yellow, brown, green, and bloody (red or dark red). Especially for bloody spills, the reason can be referred to in the first article, which has been explained by the editor.
3. Nipple long hair
The long hair of female nipples is influenced by changes in estrogen levels in the female body. Sometimes nipples don't grow hair. During adolescence, pregnancy, menopause, and even when taking birth control pills. However, when women suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome and Cushing's syndrome, their nipples may grow hairy or even more luxuriant. At this point, immediate medical attention should be sought at the hospital.
4. Nipple depression
The nipple depression can be one nipple depression or two nipple depressions. After excluding congenital nipple depression, attention should be paid to nipple depression in the future. When the nipple is sunken, bacteria are easily hidden, and cleaning the sunken nipple is difficult, which is one of the main reasons for mastitis. Furthermore, women with healthy breasts can only breastfeed normally, and nipple depressions can conceivably lead to women losing the opportunity to breastfeed.
5. Nipple rupture
This is abnormal for lactating women, mainly caused by improper breastfeeding posture. However, non lactating women also experience nipple rupture. Due to the differences in physical constitution and skin type of each individual. Women with ruptured nipples usually have dry skin, sweating heavily in summer, and ruptured nipples. Of course, nipple rupture is also an accidental injury. Here, the editor should be particularly careful not to take medication on his own. Doctors must treat symptomatically after diagnosis and treatment.
