A member asked:
I am 44 and my breast and nipples are tender what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably hormonal: Tenderness of both breasts is usually a result of hormonal fluctuations that cause a change in the breast tissue known as fibrocystic condition. This may be made worse with a high salt diet or excess caffeine such as coffee, tea, and soft drinks.
