A member asked:

Pain and white discharge coming from inverted nipple, only in 1 breast. discharge has been for yrs pre children but pain over past few days. not red?

Check it out.: You didn't mention if the nipple inversion is a new finding. White discharge from the nipple usually turns out to be non-problematic, but I am concerned because you have pain and the inverted nipple. Even though breast cancer is usually not painful, and even though you are a young woman, please get your doctor to evaluate you. Better to be on the safe side here. Lgromkomd.
