Q: my breast feel heavy, swollen and like a burning sensation in my nipple area, i dont get my period anymore?

: At age "52", although menstruation has stopped, your pituitary is still stimulating your ovaries to force ovulation, which increases the levels of estrogen from the ovaries, creating breast tenderness, and swelling. Ask your GYN physician about low dose oral bcp's which will stop ovarian estrogen production and ease the breast symptoms.
