A member asked:

I have clear nipple discharge from only left breast. no pain or lump that i can tell. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clear discharge: Most likely the clear discharge is from a benign condition like fibrocystic changes or a dilated duct. However since it's from one breast, hormonal cause is unlikely. For peace of mind have an evaluation by your gynecologist or a breast surgeon.
