A member asked:

I have had sore nipples for 17 days. the sensitivity started 2 days after my period ended on the 25 of november. what could cause this? hurts to touch

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Protect them: If you sleep on your stomach that pressure will decrease blood flow and impair healing and perpetuate your symptoms. Is your bra creating pressure or chafing as well? Try a triple antibiotic ointment and loose bandaid over each nipple and no bra for a few days. If these measures don't help then see your gynecologist for help.
