Brief Answer:
Your concerns are related to hormonal changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Your concerns are related to hormonal changes after menopause, Estrogen/Progresterone imbalance.

Ice on nipples, wearing appropriate bra should help improve nipples soreness.

With time, as hormonal levels stabilize, your symptoms should stabilize too.
