leaking nipples?

Question

I came off the pill in July but only resently did my boyfriend point out that my nipples are leaking slightly. Is this due to hormone changes with coming off the pill.
Do I need to worry or is this normal. We are trying for a baby but I am definately not pregnant. Any advice is good. Thanks

Answer 1

you are leaking discharge due to hormonal changes please consult your doctor...good luck

Answer 2

Pituitary tumor

are abnormal growths found in the pituitary gland, a small organ--about the size of a dime and located in the center of the brain--which makes hormones that affect growth and the functions of other glands in the body. Most pituitary tumors are benign, which means they are non-cancerous, grow slowly and do not spread to other parts of the body. A pituitary tumor may make the pituitary gland produce too many hormones, which can cause other problems in the body. Tumors that make hormones are called functioning tumors, while those that do not make hormones are called non-functioning tumors. Certain pituitary tumors cause Cushing's disease in which fat builds up in the face, back and chest, and the arms and legs to become very thin. Other pituitary tumors can cause acromegaly, a condition in which the hands, feet and face are larger than normal. Another type of tumor can cause breasts to make milk even though there is no pregnancy. Symptoms of pituitary tumors may include headaches, vision problems, nausea and vomiting, or any of the problems caused by the production of too many hormones such as infertility or loss of menstrual periods in women, abnormal growth, high blood pressure, heat or cold intolerance, and other skin and body changes.

Yes it could be due to hormone changes, if it is just coming out the one nipple then you should see yor doctor a.s.a.p, or if it has blood in it, i had the same when i came off the pill it only lasted for a couple of weeks the settled, make a appointment for your docotr for a chk up just to put ur mind at ease, good luck xxxx

Answer 4

I'm a nurse. If you are certain you are not pregnant, then see a doctor it could then be infection or even just a side effect, but it's hard to tell without a medical history and/or seeing it for myself. Take care.

Answer 5

I have this just from my left nipple normally when I finish my period (it can be really quite heavy sometimes) and usually through night. I went to my doctors as my Mum died of Breast Cancer. He told me it was just my hormones but def make an appointment anyways.

Answer 6

if your not pregnant see a doctor it could be an infection and nothing to freak about but its best to get any changes like discharge,leaking,change in shape etc checked out tc

Answer 7

If you're not pregnant, I would see a doctor. Discharge from the nipples is considered abnormal unless you're pregnant or nursing.

Answer 8

Get to the doctor. It could be an early symptom of breast cancer)not trying to scare you!!!) but I had a friend that had that and she has cancer. It could be from your pills. They will check everything out. Good luck!

Answer 9

I heard of it happening so you are not the only person, but check with your doctor maybe you have an infected duct, although I don't think that would effect both.
