My nipples are leaking what could it be?
Thanks:confused:

Cystic breast, or pregnant are the 2 things that come to my mind. You may want to make a docotr's appointment.

I have never heard that cystic breasts leak as I have had polycystic breast issue for the past 15 years. If you are not pregnant I would highly recommend that you get your breasts checked as soon as possible.

I have cystic breast and they leak and my daughter that is 14 just went for her 1st ultra sound for the same thing and has green fluid leaking from the cystic breast. My niece has leakage from her cystic breast as well.

I guess you learn a new thing every day

Time for a doctor's exam. My breasts leaked due to intraductal breast cancer. Please make an appointment.

j9 how did they find out it was cancer? With mine they tested the fluid... with my daughetr they just want to recheck her in 3 months. By the way her leakage is not directly form the nipple but from the pores around(lack of better word).

I was 32 and had a fine needle biopsy, which detected "suspicious" cells. I then went in for a biopsy of the lump and found it was indeed cancer. I chose to undergo bilateral mastectomy due to my age and the possibility of reoccurrance.

You see, I had a lump in the mild duct, this caused pressure, which caused increased hormone response, which caused leaking of colostrum.

I had the fine needle and they could not aspriate... then a biopsy but it was not cancer. I will see if I can look up mild duct to better understand it.
I think if he lumps are there in 3 months that I am going to request a docotr that specializes in women's health. She just felt her lump last month and it is not sore and does not cuase her any pain also she could can only feel one. The other one showed up on the ultra sound. Her peditrician said she does not know what to make of it that she has never had a patient with this problem... but given my family history with the cyst and no cancer that she feels it is OK to wait and see what happens. Does that make sense to you? I tend to agree, but sometimes I get sick in the pit of my stomach thinking about it. My cyst were always very sore. Of course I have never heard of a young girl with breast cancer... Have you?

She's 14 right?

Probably just fibrocystic breasts at such a young age. Just keep an eye on it.

Thank you for the opinion, I agree with both you and the doctor but that little nagging worry sneaks in. Lol I think I will stay from breast post for the next 2 1/2 months.

Thanks for the info so far, just wanted to add that they only leak a clear fluid if pressure is applied, but not at any other time. If this may help in any way.
Thanks
