A member asked:

I'm not pregnant but been having sore breasts and in an attempt to ease them a bit i was squeezing and when squeezing the nipple i noticed colostrum?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast exudate: A small amount of fluid can be expressed from the breast when it is sometimes squeezed normally. However, if the exudate(fluid) continues without breast manipulation or squeezing please see a MD for a prolactin blood test.
