Answer 1

Some women do notice a discharge from their nipples. It is normal and healthy — it's the body's way of keeping the nipple ducts open. It even happens to some guys.

The discharge may look like very thin milk, or it may be clear or light green, greyish or light yellow.

Women who take birth control pills may have this discharge. It can happen during sexual arousal and at certain times in the menstrual cycle.

It is important to keep nipples clean by washing with warm water and soap so the discharge won't dry and build up.

If the discharge changes, has pus or blood in it, or if it is brownish in color, visit your clinician — this change may be a symptom of an infection.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,

Answer 2

Discharge from the nipple is usually something to check with your doctor about, but I know a number of women, myself included, who ocassionally have discharge and our doctor's have determined it's nothing to worry about. In our specific cases, we nursed our babies and even after a number of years can have a small amount of discharge on ocassion. It would be a good idea to talk to your doctor just to make sure, though. There's no need to take any chances. Good luck.

Answer 3

You have not provided enough info about yourself to give you a good answer. Age, have you been pregnant, had children, lumps in breast, painful breasts. Did it smell, what was the color? It could be many things.

Answer 4

It's not unusual. It's called prolactin. You can do a search on that for any amount of information.

Answer 5

it could mean you have breast cancer... check with your doctor right away... it could be something else but don't take a chance... i hope everything is fine...
