Menopause Support Group
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.
Hello,
I am new to this group, but have previously been in other groups and always found excellent advice and support. I am 41 years old and have 3.5 year old twin daughters and a sweet DH. I have always had large nipples and they have always been sore/tender during PMS. For the last several months it has been constant and getting worse. Is this a sign of menopause that any of you have experienced? I also seem to be more short tempered lately, but have also been kind of stressed out, so I don't know if this is a "symptom" or not - at least yet. I don't know if I should be worried about the sore nipples or not?

ahem, back on topic...maybe take a couple of advil once a day, even massage around the chest muscles etc and stretching too might help with the pain. Also ice can be used or even heat...
Maybe others will post with more ideas for relief...DaisyC
Thanks for the input. I will try to cut down caffiene. Maybe I should have my hormone levels checked. I appreciate the advice, and anything else that you think of, please don't hesitate to share. :)
