Hi,

Have you noticed any irregularity in your menstrual cycles?

You could wait for a few days and if the symptoms still persist,consult your doctor for a clinical examination.

Let us know about how you are doing and also if you have any other doubts.

Thanks for the inputs.

My age is 45. Am i nearing monopus sycle. Is this due to that. I will try some warm compresses and wear lose cloths. After how many days i should consult the doctor for clinical examination?

Thanks once again.

Hi,

What is your age? Have you noticed any abnormal features on breast self examination like a breast lump, nipple discharge or skin changes?

This could be due to hormonal changes associated with your menstrual cycle.

This could also be due to tight clothing, trauma or injury.

But this could also be due to some infection - consult your doctor and talk to him/her about this.

Try some warm compresses and wear lose clothes.

If the symptoms still persist, then you should consult your doctor for a clinical examination.

Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
