A member asked:

I noticed while showering my nipples were sore. should i be worried about this?

Not really: If there are other associated symptoms then certainly but if you have nipple soreness associated with your menstrual cycle then no that can be normal. If it persists then see your physician. Do a self breast exam monthly as well.
