What Causes Pain In Nipple And Delay In Period?

I have nipple pain while breastfeeding, but only on the left side. Now, I have a pinkish spot rash that is mainly over my chest. The rash is not itchy or raised. I have had breast rumors in the past that were non cancerous. I period is also late, by over a week. I am not pregnant, I ve take three home test but all have been negative. In the past weeks I have had spotting, but with very small amounts of blood, not sure if that is related to anything.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Your symptoms are likely to be due to unrelated causes. The pain in the nipple could be due to some abrasion or a fissure and needs inspection by the health care provider, so also the rash needs to be inspected to arrive at a diagnosis whether it is viral. Your menstrual irregularity is more likely to be due to hormone imbalance, associated with lactation. To clarify, you can have a trans-vaginal sonogram along with a blood test to exclude/confirm pregnancy. If needed, a course of hormones may be given apart from lactating period. Hope this helps.
