Yes, but: First, i would have a doctor check the discharge to see if it's milky (they can see that under the microscope). If so, i would recommend blood hormone testing (thyroid panel, kidney function, and prolactin level) and a breast ultrasound in addition to the mammogram. Also, there are many medications that can cause this, but not zyrtec (cetirizine). Are you on anything else? Or any herbal supplements?

You are 40,: so according to American Cancer Society, American College of Radiology, and others, it is time to begin annual screening. If you have had bilateral white nipple discharge for years, it is not from breast cancer, and the mammogram will probably not help much with determining the etiology. Lab tests to check hormone levels may be useful.
