Exam!: Bleeding from the nipples is often the result of some sort of trauma or friction & often not cause for great concern. This is also sometimes associated with breastfeeding. Other possible causes include infection, benign intraductal papillomas & breast cancer. Therefore I strongly suggest you have a complete exam at a medical clinic as soon as possible. I wish you well with your health!
