Bloody nipple : Bloody nipple discharge is never normal. Most of the time it is caused by a ductal papilloma. You need a ductogram and possible excisional biopsy to ensure that this is not an early sign of breast cancer. Please see a breast surgeon.

Go see your doctor!: Bloody nipple discharge after mammogram & ultrasound from just two months ago needs to be discussed w/your physician, whoever ordered the tests. While it may not be malignant, you need to find out what it was. It does no good for a bunch of online docs to speculate. You need to chat w/your doc who needs to make time to explain what's going to you, what's the plan, what to do, what to expect, etc.

Plz C Breast Surgeon: Bloody nipple discharge is usually secondary to benign growths in the duct called intraductal papillomas or inflammation (duct ectasia); an underlying cancer is found less than 10% of the time. Formal evaluation should include a physical exam, mammogram +/- nipple aspiration cytology +/- duct excision (duct x-rays called "ductograms" are sometimes recommended but I have not found them useful).
