Anyone experienced nipple soreness post menopause?

Hi, @trixie1313 - thanks for joining this discussion to offer help and support, and sorry for any confusion. @jkhambati mentioned being 54 and postmenopausal in this Connect Women's Health thread called "Nipple soreness in postmenopausal women." She mentioned having the same problems as @margaret902, the first member to post in this discussion - cited as nipples that are more sore, tender and flattened out, with the areola is less pink than normal, with no other illness and no medications being taken.
I'm hoping that @jkhambati will return and provide a few more details. @jkhambati - will you let @trixie1313 and others in this discussion know any other relevant context about your concerns about the nipples? I believe you are indicating you are post-menopausal but don't have any medical conditions currently?

I just jumped online to learn more about this as I’m experiencing the same. I’m 57 and 4 years post-menopausal with no other issues or medications.
Am a 48 yr.old women postmenopausal.
I have always had sensitive nipples but as I get older and now less menstrual cyclees, I have to wear nipple covers all the time. And my nipples are red and sore . Is there any help for this?
I took an almost 54. Recently postmenopausal. In the past 3 weeks I have noticed my nipples are very tender and breasts seem swollen. I never had tender breasts ever except at the very beginning of menopause, so I'm hoping this maybe the final stage? Your thoughts are welcome.

The soreness may just be change in hormones for post-menopausal. But always be aware of any other symptoms. My nipple and breast kept itching and then just due to happenstance, I felt a lump at which time I had ultrasound and biopsy showing invasive breast cancer. Again, it could just be hormonal changes, but be aware of your body. If your breasts are dense, ask mammogrram tech to do magnification of breasts during mammogram as regular mammogram does not always pick up lesions in that instance.
