Patient's question:
I am 27 years old, a woman, and I feel some discomfort in my body, but I don't know what's wrong. Please ask: Why is the nipple always hard and hurts when touched?Doctor's answer:
The nipple has been hard and painful to the touch, which may be caused by conditions such as mastitis or breast hyperplasia. It could also be related to tight or poorly made underwear. It is recommended to have a thorough examination at the local hospital's breast department and, if necessary, use antibiotics for symptomatic treatment while wearing pure cotton underwear. The patient should seek systematic and standardized examination at a reputable tertiary hospital as soon as possible based on their condition to ensure timely and effective treatment for a quick recovery.
