I’m a male-female pre op Trans person,
I am only on Aldactone at the moment
Plain to start estrogens within next few weeks
But yesterday I realized I had, what looks like sweat all over my right nipple
Worried I played with a little bit and more clear liquid came out of it
A few minutes ago I squeezed my nipple to see and the clear liquid appeared out in three little bits about a drip
My blood test from three weeks ago shows my prolactin to be in normal male range
I am going to see my doctor GP on Monday about this but because
I live in a remote town my doctor GP may not know what it is or how test it
I will see my gender doctor two weeks from now
I can’t before as I live a thousand kilometres away from them
Would like to know if this is a something I should worry about and make the trip sooner
I know what it could be but would like some other TG idea’s before I say anything

This is from an Australian web site and it is the reason it worries me

Statistics show 30 percent of the general population have pituitary adenoma, a non-cancerous, benign tumour of the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Most of the people who have these are totally unaware of it, and it never causes a problem. This gland controls the sex hormones, body temperature, and metabolism, calcium in the blood, and to and from the bones. What symptoms are seen depends on which part of the gland the tumour is located. With H.R.T. these can become quite apparent. The most common is raised blood prolactin levels in response to estrogens intake. Prolactin is the hormone that triggers lactation and production of milk in the breasts of pregnant women. Taking large dosages of an estrogens hormone (Premarin and Estigyn are two) in the hope of increasing breast size or speed of development of the breasts this often has the opposite effect,

, and can also cause lactation ranging from minor nipple discharges to full on 'need nursing pads' type milk production. This is bothersome and at times embarrassing. If not controlled, excessive estrogens levels can lead to eyesight problems by causing the tumour to grow and put pressure on the optic nerves and could eventually lead to blindness. A doubling of the blood prolactin levels can mean a doubling in tumour size!

Don't panic. It could be something as simple as an infected milk gland. (Antibiotics would clear it right up.)
Don't keep squeezing it though.
Get to the doctor and have him/her check you over.
BTW, if you don't already, now would be a good time to learn how to perform breast exams on yourself.

Your physique is changing at an extremely rapid %. superb now. you will have a cyst interior the nipple. Have your mom take you to the dr so as that they might do an examination. you maximum possibly gets a mammagram. I had that take place as quickly as and it become very frightening. yet a gynecologist will confirm what it quite is or isnt. it quite is your superb guess extremely of 2d guessing. reliable success.

I don't think that clear liquid is an issue, but I'm not a dr. either. I've always been told if it's got color, then you have an issue.
