Soreness in nipples during lactation and after that has different causes. On the presumption that you have stopped breastfeeding your child sometime ago and yet experiencing sore nipples, I suspect one or more of the following conditions at the root of your problem:
Prolonged exposure to wet nursing pads or bras, or to moisture built up in poorly vented breast shells
Sensitivity to body soap, creams, lotions, deodorants, sprays, powders, or oils used on nipple/breast
Irritation from a bra that's too tight
Eczema, or Impetigo or other fungal infections of the nipples
Presence of Staphylococcus aureus
Inflammation of the skin (Dermatitis) arising from use of ointments, detergents etc.
Therefore your problem warrants a visit to a gynecologist or a skin specialist immediately, to get rid of the problem and restore your sexual life. Some of the problems mentioned above can be very serious and there are other causes as well.
Regarding the sexual desire problem that you mentioned in your data form, yes, some women experience diminished sexual desire following the insertion of Implanon implant. Since you have found it affecting your sexual life, you may consider having the implant removed and adopting an alternative contraceptive method such as Intra-utrine Device device or non-hormonal contraception such as Centchronan.Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
