I am a 55 yo female with no health issues on no meds, non smoker, slightly over weight. In good physical shape. My nipples have been tender for about 2 weeks . Both. Within the last year I have stopped menstruating and I do not have hot flashes, etc. why the sensitive and slightly painful nipples? No change in shape or color.

General Surgeon 's  Response
hi.

it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a breast or a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. a screening mammography is best to evaluate your breasts. usually, when there are hormonal changes in our body, breast tenderness may occur.

hope this helps.

good day!!
