Galactorrhea: Significant breast stimulation can be a cause of galactorrhea.

Question 8

milky discharge from nipple. is that a tumor?

Accepted Answer

Nipple milk discharg: True galactorrhea, milk secretion from the breast, can be caused by excessive prolactin production from the pituitary - usually a small tumor or microadenoma. If the prolactin is high an MRI of the pituitary will be needed. Several drugs can increase prolactin levels, particularly tranquillizers. Also need to rule out under active thyroid with TSH measurement as this can increase prolactin levels.

Question 9

slightly pink discharge from nipple when i squeeze it?

Accepted Answer

Go to check it out: Go to see your doctor for a good breast examination and  further evaluation. It can be caused by different reasons like trauma, infection/inflammation etc-  anything bloody- however, you need also to make sure that it is not cancerous. If you've never had a mammogram- you probably should get one now and also ultrasound of the breast for complete evaluation.

Question 10

clear green discharge from nipple, light period could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: Clear green discharge from the nipple is rarely a sign of a problem nor a sign of pregnancy. Some patients see milky white discharge from their nipples in early pregnancy but full, tender breast are a more common symptom of early pregnancy.
