Dr. Hiep Le answered

Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

It usually happens in the second trimester, predominantly on the larger breast and it usually resolves after 2 months. Mammogram is not helpful due to dense breast during pregnancy. Please let your OB know for a thorough exam and follow up. However, slight bloody nipple discharge accounts to approximately 20 percent of nipple discharge during pregnancy and 15 percent during lactation.
