    White stuff from my nipple
    :confused:

    I know I am not pregnant because I just had a period and it's been coming on consistently every month.

    Today I noticed that I had some white stuff on my nipple when I squeezed it. The stuff wasn't wet or milky like breast milk. This stuff looks dry. Are you able to help me?

    :confused:

    Are you sure that this is coming out of your nipple then if it's dry? It could just be lint build up from your bra, or a shirt. If you're not pregnant and if something is coming out of your nipples then you need to get this checked out. You could have an infection in your breasts or even something else. If you're positive that it's coming out of your nipple, the please make a Dr.'s visit. I wish you the best!

    I am 32 yrs old. I had one child when I was 17. I am sure it's in my nipple. I was doing a self examination and I noticed it. I am sure it's neither lint nor anything from my shirt. My breast or nibble doesn't hurt nor inflamed either.

    Is it coming out of one breast only or both?

    Time to get it checked out by your doctor. It could be something as simple as mastitis. Please make an appointment in the morning.

    Hey girl - don't sweat it. Go to that doctor though or hospital. I'm sure it's a hormonal twist. Especially if your on the pill. I've known 3 girls in my life so far who had different nature qualities. 1 who lactated - (gave milk and dripped always) her breasts were huge and the outcome was that her body thinks it just gave birth. Pregnancy was null. In her youth she had (and so did I) great times with little worries. In later years she corrected her imbalance and did have a child . The olther was always testing as pregnant but never was - slightly more difficult - she too later regulated her body chemistry. The third just thought she was already pregnant, having discharge and the like but could not ever conceive. Don't know what happened to her.

    This is completely normal no need to worry I have had it as long as I can remember and my doc has told me that its just keeping the nipples healthy

    Here is a related question and answer I found


    Dear Experts,

    Once in a while, if I sqeeze my nipple, a little white stuff may come out. It that normal?




    The Answer:


    Yes. Nipple discharge is fairly common in women and it's perfectly healthy — it's the body's way of keeping the nipple ducts open. Women who take birth control pills may have this discharge. It can happen during sexual arousal and at certain times during the menstrual cycle. Some guys also have nipple discharge. It may look like very thin milk, or it may be clear, grayish, light green, or light yellow.

    However, if the discharge changes, has pus or blood in it, or if it is brownish, visit your clinician — this can be a sign of an infection.

    It is important to keep nipples clean by washing with warm water and soap so the discharge won't dry and build up.

    Hope this information helps!

    Take care,

    Hello,
    Im 21 and I also have this discharge. It is white and it only happens when I sqeeze it hard. It only comes out of one breast. Im married. It is really freaking me out. And yes I'm on the pill. I just need to know because I take pain killers because of my endometriosis. So far my plan is to stop taking my pill and see if I get my period.

    I get the same thing, don't know what it is but have never had any problems. Maybe it's something to do with the pill - I'm on it too

    I think I just had this tonight on my left nipple and I am definently not pregnant because I have't done that yet. But I'm not on the pill, what could it be then?
