    Concerns about my 15 yr old daughter
    I am having some concerns about my daughter.. She has been having some pains in her breasts and leakage.. I don't remember at that age having leakage but I do remember having the pains from growing.. Can someone please tell me what they think about the leakage.. usually that's not supposed to happen unless your pregnant and she's not pregnant.. so if you could please comment me back and tell me what you think I would appreciate it cause I have researched it and can't find anything except pretty much pointing at pregnancy or cancer and thast usually in older woman cause she's to young to have cancer in her breasts... Thank you

    You really should take her to the doctor for an exam. I could possibly only be hormonal in nature, or it could be an infection of the mammary glands, which would require antibiotics to clear it up.

    Well, she is rather young for cancer, but cancer does not know age. I thought I was too young when I had it at 32 with no family history. During my chemo treatments I met a woman who was 20 and was about to undergo a radical bilateral mastectomy.

    I am not saying that I think she has cancer, rather I am pointing out how important it is for you have her examined by a medical professional at this point. Most likely it is a hormone imbalance or an infection of sorts.
