A member asked:
I am post menopausal, take estradiol for two months now. since yesterday i have sore nipples and areolas. is this from estradiol? or ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Estradiol: Estradiol (and all estrogens) can make the breast glandular tissue tender and swollen. If the discomfort continues, you may consider a lower dose. The discomfort may be temporary, and if so no need to worry.
