Could Sudden Onset Of Tender, Painful Nipples Be The Symptom Of Breast Cancer?
About 5 days ago I suddenly noticed that my nipple on my left breast was tender to touch and had some pain. It started all of a sudden and the color is normal, nipple not inverted, and not oozing anything. I only have pain when my nipple touches something. My breasts are large and the nipple constantly gets in the way of things, such as the table , the countertop, and etc. What could this be. Could this be the start fo breast cancer?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
No ma'am, there are so many conditions simple and non-complicated that can present in a similar way. At times even an approaching or ongoing period, can present in a similar manner. Even birth control or hormonal.imbalances can present with tender nipples. Please do not worry and visit a doctor for further management.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
