Hello,

I read your message and understood your medical problem.

I see you are experiencing menopause and symptoms like soreness of nipples, cramps, dryness of vagina or decreased libido are common symptoms seen in the women in the first couple of years of menopause.

The cause of breast soreness is thought to be the estrogen level spikes which affects the breast tissue and make it painful. When your menses are completely stopped and no more estrogen is produced then the breast inflammation will reverse. But if you are under estrogen therapy to treat the menopause symptoms then breast tenderness will keep being present.

Soreness of the nipples may not have just a hormonal disbalance background. The may be as a result of other processes being present in the breast tissue, for example, a real infection of the breast itself, cysts, abscesses or lumps in the breast tissue.

Certain medicines contribute to sore nipples like antidepressants, diuretics, and digitalis. Consider this if you take one of these drugs to treat other health conditions you may have.

The menopause symptoms will resolve as the time passes. But to maintain a wellbeing it is important that the women of this age take calcium+vitamine D3 supplements, omega 3, a good multivitamin and if necessary hormone therapy. This is because menopause predisposes women for many health complications from bones to heart disease.

It is important to eat properly and healthy, to avoid stress, and to do regular check-ups when health trouble present. A routine mammography and vaginal examination must be done as your gynecologist will advise you.

Hope this is helpful for you.

Thank you.
