For post Menopausal women

Post Reply New Topic

Do any of you ever get really achy nipples, for no reason? Just wondered. Input would be appreciated.

What's a nipple bar?

And oh, it isn't just because of being post-menopausal. It's just that I got frustrated with my internet search, because the replies I found always assumed that the women was of childbearing years/capability. Or was breast feeding. This comes on for no reason I can see, and is extremely uncomfortable, as even having my clothing brush against them, or temperature changes, is agonizing.

Oh.

Long past the post topic

Yes, Hartzofspace, I do get sore nipples, the same sensation like after I finished a breastfeeding session. I have three kids. Other than this I feel nothing. It must be a hormone fluctuating thing.

Menopause is strange situation. At least I never got those hot flashes. In fact, I am always cold, and need lots of coverage and heavy blankets.

Maybe I am conservative, but I do not like the thought of nipple piercings. Ouch!

hey, Hartz...

Yeah, I still do. I'm fairly new to the post-menopausal thing, and maybe there's still a few errant hormones kicking around. Mine get sore like they did before my periods, only now it's a bit worse as clothing can irritate them too. Also, the soreness last for a while, like a week or so, and then it eases up. Before, when my period started, the pain eased up right away. Oh, and forget bras.

I certainly do get cramps, which is odd, since I had a hysterectomy! According to Chinese medicine, we still retain a spiritual version of an organ, even after its removal.

I get the cramps, too...my doc suspected pelvic inflammatory disease, and with a little reading, I discovered that, like fibroids, is much more common though usually more manageable in more women than previously thought.

Maybe it's errant tissue left over and still responding to the cyclical hormones, or hormone, or whatever's still happening. I know I get a cramp in the upper right quadrant, or used to, on a regular basis along with the "usual" cramping, and it still happens occasionally, though as my cycles wear down, it's not monthly, more like every couple of months, but always on a kind of schedule.
