A member asked:

What does blue leaking from the nipple mean? im on birth control

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very common: Any woman who has been pregnant can have some nipple discharge. Rarely does birth control pills/patch/ring cause it. Please check with your physician for a serum prolactin blood test and exam to isolate the cause.
