I'm only 19. This has been happening for 4 months now. If I squeeze my breast, or hit it, a small amount of milk-like substance comes out. I know 100% I'm not pregnant...and I would think if it's something like breast cancer, it wouldn't affect me at my age. I am getting it looked at in a few weeks, but could anyone tell me what this could be caused by?

Galactorrhea is not as uncommon as you might thing.
Milky discharge (cloudy, whitish or almost clear in color, thin, non-sticky) is the most common type of discharge. Most milky discharge is caused by lactation or increased mechanical stimulation of the nipple due to fondling, suckling or irritation from clothing during exercise or activity. Drugs or hormones that stimulate prolactin secretion can cause spontaneous, persistent production of milk (galactorrhea). Prolactin is the hormone produced by the pituitary gland that starts the growth of the mammary glands and triggers production of milk. Some pituitary tumors cause excess prolactin secretion that can lead to milky nipple discharge, usually from both breasts (bilateral). Opalescent discharge that is yellow or green in color is normal.
Nipple Discharge is of Concern if it is:
bloody or watery (serous) with a red, pink, or brown color
sticky and clear in color or brown to black in color (opalescent)
appears spontaneously without squeezing the nipple
persistent
on one side only (unilateral)
a fluid other than breast milk

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.

Heyy. What's up? My name's Gwenivere, let me tell you a brief story about myself which I believe may be of some Hẹlp to you... Growing up, I was teased all throughout high-school. You know, I was that girl with the really small breasts that everyone liked to make fun of. I did not hit puberty until a little bit later on in my life. People used to say all kinds of mean things to me, refering to my breasts as "man-boobs", "mosquito bite titts", "flat-chested" ... it just went on and on. I even had one boyfriend that told me that he was ashamed to be seen with me in public. The ridicule never seemd to end. Because of this, I went through school being very self-conscious about my appearance and my ability to get boys to like me. Even after puberty, I never made it past an A cup.. so my negative self-image carried on into college. The emotional scars left by those mean girls (and boys) from HS never quite faded.
So, with that, I was determined to change my predicament. The thought of going through life feeling insecure about my body was unacceptable to me , especially during my college years. So what I did was a thorough, dedicated search. I scoured the web for answers. I spent several days and nights pouring through an endless amount of first-hand accounts and other personal experiences with various products and solutions. During this quest, I found precisely what I was seeking. It was a topical cream called "CurvyBust" @ https://curvybust.im .. The first bottle that they sent out was totally Frẹe, the only thing I had to do was pay for the S&H. This is the only reason I even tried it, normally I would be too skeptical to bother with something "too good to be true." All I can say is, unbelievable. I went up almost 2 cup sizes in just a matter of a couple months. You would not believe what this has done for my self-esteem and outlook on things. I almost feel like I have a new lease on life. There is nothing quite like feeling perfectly comfortable in your own skin again.
Take care! I hope you find the answers you are looking for <3

1st. any woman at any age can get breast cancer. 2nd 4 months of waiting is way too long to wait. you should really go to the ER. you could have a bad infection and it's causing them to leak. infections in the breast are not fun. usually if it is an infection, the liquid will have a funny smell. if it does, get to the hospital ASAP.

i had this while I was in high school. I was on the pill to help my bad skin and i had discharge from my nipple. it was nothing serious and disappeared when i went off the pill....
could be hormonal imbalance or something more serious. get it checked out by a doc just to make sure.
good luck angel

Several things. Hormonal imbalance, a clogged duct in the nipple, an infection. 4 months is too long to wait - go to the doctor hun.

a few weeks? most ob/gyn wouldve had you in there the same day! you need to tell your dr. office you want in there today - when it comes to stuff like that you cant be too careful- it might just be an infection, but if its more you want to catch it as soon as you can

you need to see your Dr about this, breast cancer can happen at any age, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you have it
