A member asked:

What does it mean if my boobs and nipples hurt when i take my bra off?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast pain: Breast pain can be very difficult to treat and its causes are poorly understood. An ill fitting bra is often to blame. Make sure you see someone who is an expert on bra sizing. Sometimes breast pain can be associated with your menstrual cycle.
