One of the main female virtues, of course, is a beautiful bust. However, it is important to have not only luxurious forms, but also healthy breasts. After all, this delicate and seductive part of the female body has a very delicate and sensitive structure. Even if you do not have time for a relatively frequent visit to a specialist mammologist (a doctor who examines the mammary glands), you can independently monitor your breasts. As soon as you notice any visual changes in its structure, or if you feel condensation and abnormal formations when you feel it, immediately contact a clinic. And today we will find out in more detail what the swollen nipples signal.
Female breasts are individual. The size, shape, elasticity and appearance of the nipples can be completely different. Moreover, even some seemingly not quite familiar outwardly bust is not a cause for concern at all. After all, physiology is inherent in nature and does not depend on our desires, standards and preferences. Nipples are large, or vice versa - too small, according to their owner is a completely normal phenomenon. Their size can vary greatly from the moment of growth of the mammary glands until the birth of the first child. In the latter case, convex nipples are not only the norm, but also an advantage for the subsequent feeding of the baby. Any hormonal change in the female body is likely to entail and such a renewal of the breast. However, there are several disturbing symptoms, the presence of which indicates the appearance of various kinds of unpleasant processes in your body. Let’s take a closer look at cases in which you may find swollen nipples.
- The period of the so-called "premenstrual syndrome." If there is only a week left before the start of the expected critical days , or a little more (everyone has different ways, remember this), then it is likely that in such a situation, swollen nipples symbolize the approach of ovulation. Most likely, in this case, there is nothing to worry about. However, if a similar symptom is accompanied by a strong compaction of the mammary glands, their soreness, headaches, pressing heaviness in the lower abdomen, then you should still consult a gynecologist. All these unpleasant sensations may well be, if not completely eliminated, then partly for sure. It is enough to drink a course of appropriate drugs.
- If the nipples are swollen, and your periods are not in a hurry to attack, then you should go to the pharmacy and get a pregnancy test. Indeed, in the early stages, this symptom is the first sign that a new life has been born within you. Do not worry, in the future, the swollen nipples will become rough and stop bothering you with their increased sensitivity. During pregnancy, this is considered quite normal.
- A change in the size of the nipples, along with their soreness and nonspecific discharge of yellow or greenish color may mean the development of mastodynia, and subsequently mastopathy. Do not be too lazy to contact a gynecologist or a mammologist. A more accurate diagnosis can only be made by an experienced specialist in their field. He will take a swab of discharge from the chest for analysis and send it for examination. Swollen nipples in this case do not say anything good. After all, mastopathy is a very frequent disease of the mammary glands, which can occur not only in women giving birth and breastfeeding, but also in very young girls who still do not live sexually. It is very important in such a situation to get qualified help and get advice at the doctor's. After all, this will be the best prevention. In addition, you will protect yourself from the occurrence of breast cancer, which can develop after mastopathy.
