why do nipples itch when menstruation is about to start?

It due in part to the nervous system because during menstruation the body goes into a slight shock that effects various parts of the body including the nervous system.  Hormones are released into the body that also causes some of the body's system to go into a reaction mode.  During various stages it can cause nipples to get harder, breast to become more tender, skin to be softer and so on.

From personal experience, I can tell you when I got pregnant, my breasts hurt before I should've gotten my period.  Maybe you're pregnant?

From the point of puberty women begin to produce small amounts of milk. Some girls get sore breasts and lactate very small amounts when they start their period and really start developing.

Usually, your breasts feel hard. You becomea little bit moody. You might also experience stomach cramps. Pimples also begin to show. Having a menstruation is a bit uneasy. Anyway, just wear a suitable sanitary napkin. It's part of being a lady~! ^^

yeah, but try getting the one for SENSITIVE skin as the area around ur nipple is extremely delicate and sensitive so u wudnt wanna end up with a reaction or something, they're mild and dont cause damage. but dont forget to carry out an allergy test!!!\nhair growing there is natural and not a problem, but i know its annoying. but its nothing to be concerned about!!!\nbut if u are concerned, u cud see ur doctor or a dermatologist for some professional advice.

I agree with Harley.  It has happened to me, and once a tiny drop of liquid came out. This hasn't happened again.  But a male nipple can get stimulated and tender.  A basketball jersey may have been moving up and down on it, stimulating it.  It is totally normal.  It just means your nipps can be stimulated.  Depending on what is happening with levels of hormones and cycles, your nipple can become more sensitive than it normally is.

Nice decent women do not like for their nipples to show through except in the bedroom.\n\nIt is a natural effect caused by cool breeze, shirt rubbing against them, and from being horny.

Hm.... These tests are very accurate. You should try and repeat it.\n\nNevertheless, you need to visit a doctor because your hormones are out of balance. The presence of nipple discharge may point to other causes that have to be ruled out, like a prolactinoma for example.\n\nDo not be alarmed by this, but do visit a doctor.

I am not joking\nTry using a 'Cupping' set, these normally ensure nipples can be come hypersensitive, you may also like to experiment to make something else very sensitive too <smiles>\nMessage me if you want the url of the net supplier who sells them

The women have always told me not to touch their nipples when they are close to their period so I am guessing that this a normal thing,but as with any major changes in body functions or reactions,If the pain is alot worse than normal for you,I would recommend seeing your family doctor.\n\nGood luck with those nipples.I hope the pain subsides for ya soon.

Because the body needs to conserve heat. It does that by reducing the skin's surface area. Same concept as goosebumps, except that the nipple is more sensitive so the skin there contracts more.\n\nIf you want a more scientific definition, then here goes: The thermoreceptors on the skin detect the change in temperature. To maintain the body's homeostasis, the autonomic nervous response is for the arrector pili muscles under the skin to contract, raising goosebumps and hardening the nipples.

I think you are describing Montgomery glands, perfectly normal part of your breast anatomy. They secrete a waxy substance that helps keep your nipple supple.\n\nhttp://www.susanlovemd.com/faq/nipple/nipple-rash.html\n\nhttp://imaginis.com/breasthealth/breast_anatomy.asp\n\nYou can't get rid of them, they help keep your nipples healthy, so learn to love them!

That happens at times when you become pregnant. It could be preparing you for breastfeeding. Just ask your doctor and he will know exactly why.
