Nipple discharge-how to know if harmless?

Nipple Discharge

Nipple discharge is common for some women. It is fluid that comes from the nipple in different colors or textures. Usually, it is not a sign of cancer. For example, birth control pills and other medicines, such as sedatives, can cause a little discharge. Certain infections also cause nipple discharge. However, for women who are going through or have passed menopause, nipple discharge can be a sign of cancer.

See your doctor if you have nipple discharge for the first time, or a change in your discharge's color or texture. He or she may send a sample of the discharge to be checked at a lab.

i doubt it is cancer but just eliminate it the best way by seeing a doctor for lab tests

sorry for the distress

Nipple discharge is a normal occurance. White, yellow and even green can be normal for some women. Bloody discharge however would not be normal.

Do yourself and your family a huge favor. See the Doctor as soon as possible to have a thorough checkup and make sure that you in fact, are fine. Nothing wrong with taking all precautions and easing your fears

I would definitely head to the doc. I had a similar problem a few months back....turned out to be an infection in my milk gland. A good dose of antibiotics cleared it up, but it still frightened me to death.

Go to the doctor. It is probably a hormones thing, but you must be checked anyway.
