What to do if you have sad nipple syndrome

Many female friends do not know what causes sad nipple syndrome. They just show physiological phenomena such as low mood and lack of sexual desire when encountering this symptom. This mainly occurs during breastfeeding and is mainly related to the behavior of breastfeeding. I hope mothers should pay attention to their breastfeeding posture. You can learn about the treatment of sad nipple syndrome.

It seems that there is no relevant research on this psychological symptom called Sad Nipple Syndrome, but it is true that many people (both men and women, mostly women) have had this psychological experience. Specifically, when the nipples are stimulated, one feels a sudden sense of loneliness, solitude, and even regret, accompanied by sexual apathy (or the inability to trigger sexual desire) and a physiological urge to cry.

The closest thing we can find is a dysphoric

The physiological phenomenon of milk ejection reflex (I don't know if there is a more formal Chinese name for it) is more common in breastfeeding women. The main psychological symptoms seem to be similar to the Sad Nipple Syndrome on the Internet. When nipple-related actions occur during breastfeeding (mostly breastfeeding behaviors), the woman will feel sudden depression, sadness, guilt, etc. Many breastfeeding women also say that they can feel this feeling when milk is secreted, and this psychological feeling is relieved a lot after the milk is "emptied".

It turns out that stimulating the nipples will produce a hormone called "oxytocin". The initial function of oxytocin is to promote uterine contraction during delivery and assist in childbirth. At the same time, a more popular and crude view is that the four major postive/happy hormones, including oxytocin (the other three are dopamine, serotonin and endorphins), can promote people's positivity, happiness, trust, falling in love, etc. As for oxytocin, it is generally believed that it can be used to help mothers build intimacy with their children during breastfeeding, and in interpersonal communication, it can also help people overcome shyness, including in heterosexual relationships. However, studies after 2010 have shown that oxytocin is not a purely "good" hormone as originally believed, and it can even stimulate some negative emotions.
