 Posted: 05/08/07 - 09:04 Post subject: Sore nipples/white dots on nipples |
  |
|
Hi,
For the last four or five days both of my nipples have ben getting hard more than they should and they hurt when hard, sometimes not even when they're hard.
For as long as I can remember I've always had some sort of crusty discharge in the opening on my nipples, but it's never been a cause for concern and has never caused any problems.
I took a pregnancy test to make sure that wasn't the case, and I'm not pregnant. I've recently come off the pill, but I've been taking the pill for a year or so now, and I've never had any side effects.
Today I noticed some white dots on both of my nipples when they were hard, not spots, just some sort of white circle under the skin. I tried to look up some information on this and the only thing that came close to me problem was a form of breast cancer, so it's gotten me more concerned.
One more thing that's worrying me is the fact that my period seems awfully late, and yet I'm not pregnant...
I'm having trouble finding anything else because the only thing I seem to come across is something about breatfeeding, new mothers ect... So, I thought I'd post here in the hopes of someone knowing what might be the problem.
Thank you. |

Many women who go on or off the pill experience odd hormonal symptoms, sometimes mimicking pregnancy. This could be the reason.
However, if you're concerned about cancer (oral contraceptives can increase chances of breast and uterine cancer), go see a doctor. It's better to be safe than sorry. |
