Diagnosing the cause of nipple pain typically involves a comprehensive approach:
- Medical History and Physical Examination: Your doctor will inquire about your symptoms, menstrual cycle, breastfeeding habits, and any relevant medical history. - Imaging Tests: Mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRIs may be recommended to rule out underlying conditions like breast cancer. - Biopsy: In some cases, a tissue sample may be taken for further analysis.
