Question 3

Puberty: Some boys have swollen hard nipples when they go through puberty. As long as the nipples are not tender, and there is no discharge, it is usually not anything to worry.

Question 4

what does it mean if your nipples stay hard for days?

Accepted Answer

I do not know: Hormonal issues plays a big role though,...Nipples become erect (hard) because the muscles inside them and underneath them contract. This is thought to happen in both males and females during sexual arousal due to the release of the hormone oxytocin. Oxytocin is the same hormone that causes a woman's nipples to become erect during breastfeeding.

Question 7

what does it mean when a girl has hard nipples all the time?

Accepted Answer

Most likely normal.: Stimulation of the nipple and surrounding area can increase the firmness of the nipple.  Skin irritations can also cause the area to become firm.  Less likely, but important is an infection or other tumor/mass.  It would be a good idea for the child to see her Pediatrician for further evaluation.  It most likely is normal, but better to be cautious.

She is normal: This can be a normal finding on some girls, she could be cold, she could be aroused. All perfectly normal things. As long as we are just talking about hard nipples and no lumps or discharges, nothing to worry about at all.

Question 10

what does it mean when a girl's nipples are constantly hard?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Male and female nipples may respond to sexual arousal, cold temperature, irritation from clothing, etc. They are delicate tissue and react to different stimuli. I'm not sure that you should make any assumption about why they are hard.
