If the nipple bleeds during intimate activity, it is usually due to overly sensitive or injured nipple skin. The following are management and follow-up steps: 1. Stop the stimulation immediately: Cease the current activity to avoid further irritation to the injured nipple and prevent worsening of the wound. 2. Clean the wound: Gently wash the nipple with warm water and mild soap to remove any possible dirt or bacteria, then gently pat dry with a clean, soft cloth. 3. Stop bleeding and reduce inflammation: If bleeding continues, apply gentle pressure for several minutes to help stop the bleeding. Using a cool compress containing witch hazel or hydrocortisone may help alleviate pain and swelling. Consider covering the wound with a sterile dressing to prevent infection. 4. Monitor and rest: Allow time for the nipple to heal, avoiding further touching or irritation. Closely observe the wound for signs of infection such as redness, swelling, warmth, or increased pain. 5. Seek medical advice: If the wound is severe, continues to bleed, shows clear signs of infection, or if the pain becomes unbearable, seek medical attention promptly. A doctor may provide antibiotic ointment or other treatment recommendations.
