Hello everyone, I am a 19 year old female and starting 8/15/15 I started having pains in both my nipples. My menstral cycle isn't for another week and a half about, a little less, but my nipples have never hurt before my cycle before. Does anyone know why both of my nipples would hurt?
secrettwinkie answered Tuesday August 18 2015, 9:17 pm: The fact that you are experiencing pain in both nipples suggests that this is pre-menstrual. I usually get breast tenderness and sore nipples the week before my period; you've got a week and a half to go, which is close enough. However, if the pain doesn't feel like typical soreness or doesn't go away, you should probably go see a doctor, or at the very least, give them a call.

What I can tell you is that my wife's nipples get super sensitive to the point she can barely wear her bra just before her period. For her this is normal since it has been going on since puberty.
What you are talking about is something new. Granted it is possible at your age you could still be suffering the last pangs of puberty. These pains could be part of the latest hormone release.
My advice is to talk to your mother. Nipple pain can have other causes unrelated to your cycle or pregnancy, though pregnancy cannot be ruled out either. Fact is you are wearing your mother's genes and it is possible she went through this at your age. If so she may be able to tell you what is going on.
The other alternative is to make an appointment with you GYN. You are an adult now and your parents can no longer see your medical records even though you may still be on their medical insurance. I could be paying you medical bills and it would not give me the right to see you medical records without your written consent to the doctor.
Since this is a new event I urge you to either talk to mom or see a doctor about it. The odds are this is nothing to be concerned about. Though why worry which will cause stress, which in most cases will cause a missed period. WHICH IN MOST CASES WILL CAUSE A MISSED PERIOD. Stress cause many missed periods in Women your age. So get an answer so you can stop worrying and stressing over something that may not be anything. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
