I have a family member/friend whose right breast starting aching for a few days. Then one day, fluid starting coming out. When it came out, the fluid was white, then clear and then followed a little blood. She went to see a doctor, but they were unsure exactly what it could be. Her doc said it could be relating to a tumor so they're scheduling her for a mammogram. It's only happening with her right breast and there are no lumps. Does anyone have any info on what the cause could be? Is a tumor possible? She just had her mentrual cycle this week and she's on the pill so she's positive she's not prego. Thanks guys!

I heard something related to the symptoms you described before. I did a quick search and found this description.
"Paget's Disease of the Nipple
This type of breast cancer starts in the milk ducts and spreads to the skin of the nipple and areola (the dark circle around the nipple). The nipple and areola will often appear crusted, scaly and red. The patient may experience burning, itching or notice some bloody discharge from the nipple.
Paget's Disease is a rare form of breast cancer, occurring in only 1% of all cases. It can be associated with in situ carcinoma as well as invasive carcinoma. If no lump can be felt in the breast tissue and the biopsy shows the growth to be in situ and not invasive, treatment for Paget's Disease is very effective."
I would suggest doing a search on this term as I am positive there can be many contributing factors. For now I am sure the doctor will rule out all the possible causes. I wish you all the best.

Clear Fluid Leaking From Breast

First don't panic, many women have exactly what ur describing including me... minus the blood and it was the same breast. But it was 6 months after I had stopped breastfeeding.
My mamo was ok... they believe that one of the milk ducts got clogged anyways it did it once and never again. No cyst, no tumors... no cancer. So tell u family member to be positive, if she's not pregnant harmones can do crazy things to womens bodies.
If it turns out to be the big C then u need to help educate her on whats out there for treatment. Be positive, it's so criitcal for successful treatment. She needs to be an agressive fighter and not give up.

This book is a must read for any woman trying to get pregnant. I was devastated and so was my husband after being told by my fertility specialist at age 38 that I had no option but to consider adoption or donor eggs (according to my doctor I was out of eggs and gave me 4% chance of getting pregnant and a 2% chance of carrying a baby to full term). After much research and dozens of hours reading infertility related articles and posts online, I have found this book! I never believed in anything alternative to western medicine and thought all the other stuff like Chinese medicine was a hoax. But I was soon glad to be wrong as I followed step by step guidelines. After one month of trying I became pregnant and had a beautiful healthy boy. Nine months after that I did everything in the book again and after 2 months of trying I got pregnant again and gave birth to another perfect little boy. I would recommend anyone with an open mind to read this book. It just might be the answer to your prayers.

This happened to me (I am 29, no kids) I had a mammogram and an ultrasound which were both normal. My thyroid level was low as well as a couple of other hormone levels were off as well. After getting my hormone levels adjusted, every thing seems to be fine for me. The nurse also told me that sometimes excess caffeine intake can cause breasts to be sore and occasionally leak. I really hope that things work out well for your friend!

Something like this happened to me. Turns out, I'd bruised my breast on an exercising machine. I had a mammogram and a duct test - they were uncomfortable, but not painful.

yes there is chance for breast carcinoma....ask the doctor to examine...rest will be clear thru investigations
pray 4 her,so tat this diagnosis goes wrong. bcoz mastectomy or removal of breast tissue is the surgical management of this issue
PREGNANCY- can be the cause 2..but nipple discharge is only in the final stages of tat..thru studies,nipple discharge is mainly 4 tumour !
