Suggest Treatment For Pain On Nipples After Unprotected Sex
I have been on birth control pills for almost a year and half now. last week I travelled to a different time zone and when i got here i was on my period and i was taking the inactive pink pill. right after my period, I had unprotected sex and in the same day I started my new pack as scheduled. today is 6 days after the intercourse and i feel a mild pain on my nipple (not my breast). is it any chance I could be pregnant? if the time calculation is correct, I haven t miss any pill and I take them at the same time each day. thank you!

Hi,
Nipples pain is usually benign and commonly It may be sign of certain hormonal or infectious issues.
When you often palpate nipples, it stimulates hormones and can indicate breast discharge. Moreover when you often check your nipples, it may cause some inflammation and give soreness in it.
To ease your mind and to make sure no cancer, cyst or abscess in the sore breast is present, please have an ultrasound of this breast done.
If you have fever, an inflammation can be the reason. If you have constipation, tiredness,hypothyroidism should be considered and TSH checked. If the discharge will be still present, you should have prolactine level checked which is common cause of this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
