Should you worry if you are 43 years old and your nipples have been sore for three weeks and you are not pregnant?

Answer 1

Hi, Nipple soreness can be a sign you are going to have a period arriving soon hun. There is no need to worry about nipple soreness unless you notice a nipple discharge. Take care. This is also the time your body is preparing to go into peri menopause and your hormones are doing dips and dives, highs and lows. Nipple tenderness, soreness or your breasts feeling bloated (along with feeling bloated in your tummy) are some side effects. Eventually (all women are different and it can take 10 or less years from now) you will go into full menopause where you cease to have periods at all, but still have the highs and lows of hormones, feel cranky, moody, cry for no reason, hot/cold flashes,gain weight (or you may not depending on your genetic structure) and depressed at times. Not all menopausal women go through all these side effects. It's wise to go on the internet and start learning about peri menopause and menopause as it's simply just another phase of a woman's life and not the end of the world. When I went into menopause I dealt with it naturally and I found I had more time to do the things I never had the chance to do before. I went back to my writing, good at artwork, work part-time, etc. There is no reason to worry of this as it's natural.
