A member asked:

I am experiencing nipple discharge. the following also describes me: breast firmness. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a MD: Breast nipple discharge can occur from an elevation of a hormone called prolactin or from a growth in the breast itself. See a MD who can sort out the problem and even provide medication to stop a breast milk discharge from prolactin.
