Hard and sore nipples during breastfeeding may be related to milk accumulation or mastitis. 1. Milk accumulation: When a woman produces too much milk during breastfeeding, a large amount of milk accumulates in the mammary glands, which can lead to hard nipples and may also cause swelling and pain. 2. Mastitis: Long-term accumulation of milk in the mammary glands during breastfeeding is likely to result in massive bacterial growth and reproduction. Bacterial infection can induce an inflammatory reaction that damages the nipple, areola and other parts of the breast, which may lead to hard and sore nipples. Hard and sore nipples during breastfeeding may be related to other causes. It is recommended to go to the breast surgery department of the hospital as soon as possible, and cooperate with the doctor to complete the relevant examinations to clarify the cause of the disease.
