A member asked:
I quit breastfeeding in august. since then i occasionally notice yellow discharge coming from my nipples. is this normal? when will it go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast discharge: after stopping breastfeeding is not unusual and can continue for several months. Discharge will continue especially if nipples are stimulated by touch. Followup with your doctor if you are also having breast tenderness or soreness or if you are having bloody discharge.
