Sore red erect nipples; I am post menopausal; what could thi

Guest over a year ago

I am 54 and experiencing the same thing as the 52 year old that posted on 10/17/07. There was no reply on her message. I don't think mine are swollen like hers were,as I have large nipples anyway, just sooo tender. Like her, I just woke up one morning to this. Mine definitely didn't come from anything rough textured. Anyone out there experience the same thing and have any answers?

Wow, I'm 51 and I just found this site too. For the past several days, my left nipple has been so tender to the touch and it's red and erect. I've cupped a bandage patch on it with some polysporin and a little cotton which has eased the pain to almost nil, but it's still there and wonder what the heck it could be.

About a week ago, I woke up with one sore nipple. It scared me and I decided to do an internet search and came up with this site. Thank you for the comments. As I read them through, I recognized that barring situations that Dr Judith describes, MAYBE, this was a muscle spasm, like a charlie horse, only in the muscles that operate the nipple. So I tried having an epsom salts bath and took a magnesium supplement. I also tried the neosporin and rubbing alcohol suggestions so who knows, but when I took my brassiere off this evening, the excruciating pain of having loose material touching the nipple was gone. Is it possible that for some reason, the tiny muscles cramped?

hard nipples are a consequence of the menopause

I have the same problem and I'm 72. Just a few days ago I woke up with very sore nipples and if I wrap my arms over them when I'm doing things during the day they hurt .

Hi, I am in the same boat as you all. I am 49 and it has only been 1 year post menapausal for me but have had sore noobs and mostly sore nipples for a week. I bought some padded bras and that is when I noticed the pain at first so thought it was from it but have worn my old bra for the last 3 days and still sore. Sometimes my nipples are erect and very painful and sometimes not hard but still sore.
I am going to Gynaecologist tomorrow so will ask him.

Hello Fellow Goddesses! I too have been experiencing tender, sensitive nipples for several weeks now. I will be 51 this November and am very fit and vegan. I thought perhaps the sensitivity was from my increased sexual activity (new, hot boyfriend, wink wink) but now I feel its part of my peri-menopause. It hasn't gotten too bad and actually, I am enjoying the new sensitivity as I haven't had much sensation since my breast augmentation years ago.

I'm 57, 3 years post menopause, I've had all the same sore, erect nipple symptoms for 3 months and I'm so relieved to find this forum! Even though there are no definitive answers it's still a relief to know that I'm not alone. I'm in the UK and I went to see the Nurse Practioner at our Doctor's surgery in early December and she examined me and said she wasn't concerned about anything sinister but I should go back in January if the symptoms didn't improve. I'm going back to see my Doctor on Monday so I'll report back here if he has any advice.

Most likely it's premenapause. My nipples started hurting and poking out yesterday out of the blue. And this morning my left ovary is hurting. I had my uterus taken out when I was 26. I really think it's menopause related.
