Itchy nipples with milky discharge

Nipples are a part of the body that each of us has, but nipples often have some problems, especially in women. These are problems caused by some reasons, including the situation of itchy nipples and milky white secretions. This situation should be taken seriously, and certain measures should be taken to treat and solve this situation. So what is the reason for itchy nipples and milky white secretions?

Common causes include nipple inflammation or nipple inversion. It requires comprehensive judgment and analysis based on your specific situation. It is recommended that you go to the breast surgery department in time for a breast ultrasound and mammography examination. After clarifying the specific situation, you should receive timely and standardized treatment. Do not eat spicy and irritating foods and keep the area dry and hygienic.

Itchy breasts and white discharge can be normal. You can do breast examinations on your own at ordinary times. When checking the breasts correctly, the palm should be stretched out, four fingers should be placed together, and the tip of the most sensitive index finger, middle finger and ring finger should be used to gently touch the outer upper, outer lower, inner lower, inner upper area of ​​the breast in order, and finally the nipple and areola area in the middle of the breast. Do not pinch the breast tissue with your fingers during the examination, otherwise you will mistake the pinched breast tissue for a lump.

Start from the sitting position. Any nipple inversion, skin depression, or abnormal shape or structure is a clue to deep breast cancer. If the patient claps her hands above her head to contract her chest muscles, these signs will appear. When women are in a sitting position, it is easier to check the lymph nodes above and below the clavicle and under the armpits. Finally, palpation should be performed while sitting. Use the fingers together to touch the area under the nipple.

Lie on your back to palpate a wider area. Place a pillow under the same breast and raise the hand on the same side above the head so that the breast is evenly spread on the chest wall, making it easier for the fingers to touch the deep breast cancer. Use the palm of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, rather than the fingertips, to palpate. The palpation method should be circular, turning horizontally from the nipple to the outside. It is especially important to check the breast that extends to the armpit. Breast examination should first observe the development of the breast, whether the breasts on both sides are symmetrical, whether the sizes are similar, whether the nipples on both sides are at the same level, whether the nipples are retracted and sunken; whether the nipple and areola are eroded, the color of the breast skin, whether there is edema and orange peel-like changes, whether there are inflammatory manifestations such as redness and swelling, and whether the superficial veins in the breast area are dilated.
