Nipples are very hard and painful, what is the reason?

Patient's question:

About 10 days have passed since the end of my period, and my nipples are very painful and hard. They hurt when touched. What could be the reason? This symptom has lasted for several months.

Doctor's answer:

Nipple pain could be due to a sebaceous cyst, sebaceous adenitis, or mammary hyperplasia. It is recommended to check with a doctor in the breast department of a regular hospital. You can start by applying warm compresses with a warm towel and pay attention to local hygiene.
The occurrence of nipple discharge not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
