May be hormonal and to rule out organic lesions
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/61 - soreness around nipples and itchiness - got bigger - menopause 10 years ago - Ultrasound and mammogram 2 years ago - normal -
The causes can be as follows:
- Hormonal changes are known to occur after the age of 60 years and give varies symptoms including the enlargement of nipples and soreness as you have explained.
- There may be a local problem like inflammation or so. It is worth getting examined by a General Surgeon and get the investigations of Ultrasound and Mammogram as may be advised by him. This is to rule out the any problem.
- You may also consult your Gynecologist, who would know more about the hormonal changes at your age and a possible solution too.
I hope this answer helps you to get an early diagnosis and proper management.
