My nipples have been hurting lately. They are a bit swollen. I don't know what's wrong.

Patient's question:

Recently, the nipple has been painful. Did not seek medical treatment.

Doctor's answer:

Breast pain in mastitis presents as a distending or throbbing pain, accompanied by redness, swelling, and heat. The affected area becomes hardened, and nipple cracking may appear first, which is often indicative of mastitis.
During anti-inflammatory treatment, maintaining a positive mindset is equally important: emotions like depression and tension can increase the level of fat emboli. Keeping an optimistic and relaxed attitude, while reducing the intake of stimulating beverages such as alcohol, coffee, and tobacco, is crucial for breast health.
