What Causes Pain In The Left Nipple?

I began experiencing pain concentrated in my left nipple. It is tender to the touch and had continued throughout the day. How long should I wait this out before going to the doctor? I haven t been in a few years, so I would need to find one in my area first.

dear
i understand the pain in nipple is quite difficult and distubing to deal with.
are we having any discharge with the pain.?
we usually advise an abtibiotic with analgesic .
Dryness or itching sometimes also leads to similar conditions.
we also have to rule out any frequent trauma.
hope this helps you.
most welcome for any further discussion. do also search a treating physician in your area.
I find this answer helpful
