Question 1

is it normal to have brownish discharge and tender breast before my period?

Accepted Answer

It's common: Not unusual at all to have pre-cycle discharge. Brown just means older blood. As far as breast tenderness, this is common as well. Vitamin e and reducing caffeine will help this.

Question 2

my period is supposed 2 come next mon. i have been having discharge that is sticky and water like. my breasts have been sore since last week. normal?

Accepted Answer

Can be normal: Breast tenderness prior to period and vaginal discharge is common in normal cycle and in very early pregnancy. So by those symptoms can't tell if very early pregnancy. If your period doesn't come check a pregnancy test.

Question 3

creamy white discharge a week before period? sore breasts and dark nipples?

Accepted Answer

May be normal: If these types of symptoms resolve with menstruation, it is related to normal homonal changes that occur during the menstrual cycle.  If the period does not arrive, it would be prudent to be checked for pregnancy.

Question 4

always had green nipple discharge when squeeze.but now with some white&a lot more than usual&breasts sore and bigger and feel full.normal period 13/06

Accepted Answer

Stop squeezing!: The majority of nipple discharge is benign, meaning not related to cancer, especially if green or milky.  Unilateral and spontaneous is more concerning than bilateral or with squeezing.  First, get yourself examined by your physician or a breast surgeon.  If not suspicious on breast exam and possible imaging and not due to meds, then leave your breasts alone and stop squeezing!  It makes it worse!

Question 5

nexplanon removed oct. 9th. felt normal for a week. sore breasts and nipples for a week. recently having white discharge. no period. sexually active.

Accepted Answer

Possibly pregnant: After stopping hormonal birth-control with either birth-control pills, the Nuva ring or the nexplanon implant, a hormone withdrawal/bleeding would be expected. If that is not the case, a pregnancy test would rule out a pregnancy.

Question 6

7 weeks after medical arbotion, spotting of brown and red discharge for 3 days, sharp arbnomen pain, sore breasts, blurted but still no normal periods?

Accepted Answer

Get it checked out: It can take 8 weeks for your periods to come back after an abortion.  But having sharp pain, bloating and a brown/red discharge could indicate a problem.  An ultrasound to make sure there is no retained tissue, an exam to look for an infection and an HCG level and other bloodwork should be done.   There are some late complications of an abortion that can be serious so get it checked out.

Question 7

i'm not due to start my period for at least 10 days and i am having a brown discharge and breasts are a little sore.  what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Anovulation: Most likely a cycle where the ovary fails to let loose an egg.  These self-normalize.  To be safe, take a home pregnancy test.  If it persists, see your doctor.

Question 8

if i am ovulating, why don't i have this white discharge? my breasts are sore and having discomfort on my lower stomach. im 9 days away from due period

Accepted Answer

Depends on woman: Some women have vaginal and cervical glands that are more hormone sensitive and will increase production of discharge during ovulation.  Some women don't experience this despite normal ovulation. A rare possibility is that you also dont ovulate. You would have to see a physician to help you determine if you are ovulating or not.

Question 9

had pink/brown discharge bout a week b4 period was due, period is now a week late, breasts are sore, & been nauseous but neg hpt when i was 1 day late?

Accepted Answer

Could still be preg: Urine home pregnancy tests make take longer to turn positive.  Consider getter a serum pregnancy test or at least repeat the urine test in about a week.

Question 10

i have yellow/brown discharge, my breasts are sore, stomach doesn't fell good. period is 3 days late. is it a sign of a period coming?

Accepted Answer

A few things: If your late for your period check a pregnancy test at home. If negative schedule a visit to discuss irregular menstrual cycles. Vaginal discharge requires and examination to determine the cause and treatment. Abdominal pain is a very complex issue that requires a thorough work up. Breast pain also has a long list of causes like pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations, weight changes, cysts and more
