A member asked:
Is nipple discharge normal if it only happens every so often?

Yes but...: Nipple discharge is less likely to be a serious medical problem if it is coming out of both sides. However, if the discharge is brown or bloody, if the discharge is coming out only from 1 side, please see a breast surgeon.

Get it checked.: Reasons for nipple discharge can include stimulation of the breast, pregnancy, medications, galactorrhea (secretion of milk or similar substance), an abscess or other breast infection, hormonal imbalances (like hypothyroidism), fibrocystic breasts (breasts are very fibrous), blocked mammary duct, breast cancer and intraductal papilloma (non cancerous mass), use of marijuana, anise and fennel.
