Right breast had clear discharge, no blood, after antibiotic, mammography-ultrasound clear, dr says just dilated ducts, do cytological test. cancer?explain

Usually benign: Fibrocystic breast disease and duct ectasia are common reasons for nipple discharge. If you have enough discharge to test it for occult blood, that would be useful. But if the mammogram is normal, and there's no mass, then the odds are that it is a benign process!
