Hi,
Yes, I agree. Any nipple problems arising after mammograms subside within one day of procedure. It can be hormonal imbalance, irritation by clothings or more causes for concern. In case it remains for a longer time, a detailed assessment to evaluate the cause and specific management is indicated so see your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha, General & Family Physician
