Gray disch : breast: It is residual breast milk, which over time turns gray, but as long as you do not see bleeding, it is probably not a problem. At 45, you should be getting digital mammograms in any case. Even if you have not had term pregnancy, the hormones produced when ovulation occurs can stimulate breast secretions which are not of concern, but do get a digital mammogram.

See your doctor: I have not seen grey discharge. I advise you to see your doctor for a complete breast exam and show them the discharge.
