I have been having nipple pain, and not just around my cycle. My nipples are hard and sore to the touch. I cant find any information to do with nipple pain unless it has pregnancy attached and im not pregnant.

I need help!! My last period wasn't normal! Usually heavy and I have it for 7 days now last week I had a very light pink period on and off and only lasted 4 days. A week later my left nipple is so sore I can't lay on it! As I lay or stand my abdominal area is fine but as I get up from laying down it hurts like sharp pain! Last sexual intercourse with my partner was 3 weeks ago. Please help!!

Hello Anonymous,

Was the unusually heavy period after you had intercourse?
Or was the very light and short period after you had intercourse?

I suggest you consult your physician, either gynecologist if you see one regularly, or primary care physician. Sharp abdominal pain upon getting up is out of the ordinary as is a very sore nipple. Both symptoms need to be evaluated with a physical exam.

Back to your periods. If the very light period followed intercourse, and if it was unprotected intercourse, I tend to suspect implantation bleeding versus a period.

This is something to mention when you speak with your doctor about the painful nipple and abdominal pain.

Keep us updated.
