Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation may be caused by conditions such as sebaceous cysts, sebaceous gland inflammation, and breast hyperplasia. The pain in the nipple may be related to hormone levels, blood circulation, ill-fitting underwear, and other factors. During menstruation, nipple pain is often associated with changes in hormone levels, and this pain usually subsides on its own after the period. When breast hyperplasia occurs, accelerated blood circulation can lead to non-menstrual nipple pain, and ill-fitting underwear may also be a factor. Pain in the nipple may also be caused by inflammation, so it is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication orally. It is advisable to visit a regular hospital's breast department for examination. You can start by applying a warm towel to the affected area for heat therapy, and pay attention to local hygiene.
