Question 1

why do i get bloated and get sore nipples before & during my period? is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes - normal: Bloating can be due to both fluid retention and constipation. Sore breasts/ nipples can be due to stretching of skin when the breast retains ^ fluid. Yes, there are normal sxs.

Question 2

sharp pain in right chest when breathing for 2 yrs, comes on suddenly and stays for days, usually starts during period.aching in chest after.xray ok.

Accepted Answer

Muscle spasm?: Chest pain can occur with low blood pressure. If during your period you have low blood pressure your blood pressure medications could make BP go too low and cause pain. That would be easy to check. Muscle spasm could cause such a pain. Low potassium or magnesium may predispose to that.  Consider changing life style to normalize blood pressure.

Question 3

why is my vigina sore only during period.
is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal pain ?'s: Vaginal soreness can occur "only during period" if stress is increased secondary to hormonal fluctuations , resulting in a viral outbreak.  See your gyn physician for an exam at the time of your menses, and other appropriate testing.

Question 4

cervix sore during period normal?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The cervix and vagina may become more sensitive during the menstrual cycle due to hormonal and blood flow changes.

Question 5

breasts sore all month except for a few days before and during period. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Most likely.: Your breasts get sore as the level of estrogen rises after your period.  I would talk to your primary doctor or GYN regarding treatment options to help with tenderness if you desire and make sure to get annual check-ups.

Question 6

i had protected sex.  period was 8 days late and was normal.  during period my nipples swelled and darkened, they currently look the same. took 5 hpts after period ended & all are neg. can i be preg?

Accepted Answer

No,,: If you've had your period, even if it was late you're not pregnant.  The swelling of the nipples could be from hormone fluctuations and should go back/not get worse.  You've had many tests come back neg after your period also so it likely confirms it.  If you're still unsure or if you don't feel well, you can see your doctor for an exam to be sure there isn't anything else.  Good luck.

Question 7

itchy nipple before and during period. what should i do for this?

Accepted Answer

Vaseline ointment: Vaeline ointment application moisturizes dry nipples and should help.

Question 8

sore & palpable lymphnodes under right armpit during period.. is this concerning? goes away after

Accepted Answer

Doctor can check: Normal lymph nodes do not hurt, unless somebody squeezes them too strongly. If they become painful or enlarged, especially if it happens in more than one location, a doctor's evaluation is done to look for inflammation or infection. One's primary care doctor is the person to begin with, and he can refer a specialist if needed.

Question 9

is it normal for one breast to be more sore when squeezed than the other during period?

Accepted Answer

Breast tenderness: Many women complain of breast tenderness during their menstrual cycle. Birth control is very good at regulating the hormonal fluctuations to help with this. I am not sure we can say if it is normal for one to hurt more than the other specifically during the act of squeezing.

Question 10

brown discharge from nipple, during period. happened last month and now this month. i only noticed as my top was wet when i woke up from sleep.

my last child is 4 and i stopped breastfeeding in 
2013. 
i am 31 and on iron, transanaemic and cerrazette pre

Accepted Answer

Nipple Discharge: This should be evaluated as soon as possible. It could be related to your cycles or medications, but it also could be something more serious.  I am a strong believer that breast discharges should not be ignored.  Please see your doctor right away.
