Green discharge: I would suggest getting evaluated by your OBGYN or primary care doctor. Green discharge from the nipple is not normal and needs evaluated. Causes could range from a milk duct infection/mastitis to cancer to a gladular/hormonal issue. A mammogram or breast ultrasound may be necessary depending on what your doc finds on history and physical examination
