A member asked:
Why does the outside of my breasts and my nipples hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Without more information and maybe an exam it's hard to say. You can get breast tenderness during your cycle as you hormones fluctuate. Large amounts of caffeine can also increase breast tenderness. Infections and trauma are other causes. Best to see your doctor at this point.
