Don't complain too much or you're going to be getting a mammogram like I did. Of course, my comment is somewhat 'tongue in cheek' since you might actually need one, however, my technician was determined to get some breast matter into her machine and that pain was pretty intense. Also, sitting with the ladies waiting to be tested is not my thing...despite what my wife said, I think they were all looking at me.

@seasuite I don't know if this exactly addresses your concern since I'm on a year+ vacation from Lupron rather than Orgovyx, but after maybe(?) 5 or 6 months off the Lupron, my left nipple became painful when bumped against anything or even rubbed against clothing. Recently, I noticed that problem has disappeared, but has surfaced less commonly regarding the right nipple. I *was* wondering about breast cancer, but at the moment I'm thinking it's not something to worry about. I will certainly ask my oncologist his thoughts when I'm back there, though.
