Strange Pain...
Posted: 07-25-07 17:13pm

Is it normal to have a very strong nipple pain? The only time my breast ever hurt at all was when i was pregnant but i figured this time around it's more than likely to just be that my period is suppose to happen on the 30th.

what else could it be?

What kind of pain is it, exactly? One time I used scented shower gel from Victoria's Secret more days in a row than I normally do, and it made my nipples incredibly sore - almost to the point where I didn't want to wear clothing. Have you used any new soaps or perhaps a lotion? Is it both breasts?

If it's pain right AROUND the nipple area and not PMS related it could be caused by some type of breast trauma (like bumping into a hard or getting hit). Also, sometimes BC can cause breast pain around the nipples. If you haven't changed BC or experienced any form of trauma lately and are sure that the pain isn't caused from a nipple skin irritation (like from a soap), than if the pain continues I would get checked out by your doctor. Although uncommon, breast pain radiating from the nipple area can be a sign of cancer. Don't assume that since your young this couldn't be the case, either. Take care of yourself if you know for sure nothing else could be the cause.

Try taking an ibuprofen or aspirin in the mean time to ease the pain if it's really uncomfortable. You could also try limiting your caffeine intake. Sometimes this is connected to breast pain in women.

I hope you feel better soon! I know how much of a real pain that can be Wink

well when my clothes or anything rubs up against my nipple its just a sharp stinging pain.

but now that you mention it i've been using a different lotion. i haven't used in the past 3 or 4 days and the pain has gone down a whole to to pretty much nothing. but i never thought it could be that.

THANKS!!

I'm glad I could help! That's exactly how it was for me, so I'm sure that's all it was.
