The first line: Med for breast discomfort is the birth control pill. It will also regulate your periods and prevent unplanned pregnancy as well. Make sure bra not too tight and try ibuprofin or aleve (naproxen) as directed for acute discomfort. Good luck.

Be curious: If the skin of the nipples look irritated you could put a drop of vit d3 oil topically on the nipples to see if this is soothing. 1, 000 units per drop two drops a day. Check bra. Organic cotton and not restrictive would be the least irritating. If your periods are late, could be estrogen dominance. Lower sugar and fat in diet and eat more vegetables esp broccoli, get more sleep, move, destress.
