Why do my nipples hurt these past two days?

There are many reasons for nipple pain. Many patients cannot find the cause at first, so they think they have some serious disease. If this happens, don't panic too much. You should go to the hospital to see a doctor to confirm the cause of your nipple pain, and then treat it symptomatically. Let's take a look at what is causing the nipple pain in the past two days.

Some patients with breast pain, because they cannot find the cause for the time being, think they have "breast cancer". In fact, there are many reasons for breast pain. Through this article you will learn about what nipple pain is.

1. Paroxysmal nipple pain

If nipple pain is paroxysmal, and often starts before menstruation or worsens before menstruation, and is relieved or disappears after menstruation, and the pain is distending or stabbing, and sometimes involves the armpit or shoulder and back on the same side, and there is mild to moderate tenderness locally, it is considered to be a proliferative lesion.

2. Continuous severe pain in the nipple

Generally speaking, if there is sudden, persistent, and severe pain in the nipple accompanied by obvious tenderness, it is considered to be various acute infectious diseases in the breast. If local throbbing pain occurs, it may be that the local area has become suppurated.

3. Nipple pain

If your nipples are extremely painful, broken, or cracked during breastfeeding, it may be caused by the baby sucking and biting the nipples, resulting in nipple fissures.

4. Irregular nipple pain

If nipple pain is only mild dull pain or aching pain, the onset has no obvious regularity, is only occasional or paroxysmal, and some are persistent, it is often ignored because the pain is not obvious. It should be noted that such nipple pain may also be a signal of early breast malignant disease and should be given sufficient attention.

Sometimes, there is no obvious pain in the nipple, but only pain in one armpit or shoulder or back, which may be a malignant lesion. These subtle changes should not be easily ignored.
