Question 4

i  42 years old i have not had a period in over a month. i have tender and itchy breasts. itchy clitoris light cramping feeling and a lot of gas.

Unrelated: At 42 it's not unusual to ovulate lesswhile frequently. This may cause irregular cycles. Some of your other symptoms may be due to a relative estrogen access, again from not ovulating regularly.

Question 6

i have very itchy breast with sore painful at times nipples. i had a itchy spot under my breast for a while. it was not infected until after prednison?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: this may be something simple like a simple rash or something serious like Paget's disease of the nipple which is associated with cancer.  The prednisone knocks down your immune system, so an infection can occur, but the purpose of the prednisone may have been to treat the itchy rash. You may need a biopsy of the nipple to evaluate for Paget's disease.  See your doctor

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Pregnancy is always a possibility. Purchase and perform a home pregnancy test.  These usuallly turn positive when you're about a week late.  If it's negative, repeat in a week and call your doctor.

Accepted Answer

Question 9

can a uti cause itchy breasts?

Accepted Answer

No reason: Unless you are having febrile utis which make you perspire ; perspiration is making your breasts itchy!

Question 10

can birth control cause itchy breasts?

Accepted Answer

Not classically but: As often birth control causes tender or sensitive breast tissue.  But, your body may responds a bit differently and instead of feeling pain it may be that you perceive "itchiness"/pruritus.  Alternatively, it could be a very atypical allergic reaction. Ideally if this becomes more bothersome, you should have someone evaluate this issue in person.  Best of luck.
