a sharp stabbing periodic pain in right nipple. what does this indicate?

it's been 2 days occuring approx once ea. hour. could this be cancer?

Answers:
no dear cancers are generally painless

thats why peolple die even before they go to a doc.
go to a doc
if there is some kind of discharge
if the area is hot
if u can feel a bump
if the shape of nipple is changing
if the skin is changing texture or colour,
if u are having fever

otherwise just put on some cold cream
and wear a loose dress

No, not likely - its probably either a pulled muscle somewhere which has hit a nerve (and it just happens part of the nerve ends on your nipple) or it could be a heart muscle strain which could do the same thing. I would go get looked at though.
more than likely not cancer. have you been stressed? lack of sleep will do it too.
Sounds as if your nipple needs attention.
Oddly enough i get pains like that when i have gas that is stuck. After i feel the pain high like that, i can usually feel it trace it's way up or down from there. It could be many things though - your body could be changing and it could be PMS. Cancer doesn't usually hurt like that. If it stays on your mind, go check with your dr, but i wouldn't worry too much. Good luck.

Is your right nipple inverted if it is check to see if you have a small white growth in in it if so you have a skin tag that could be taken off very easy
