    It does not always mean cancer, there could be a number of reasons such as infection in the milk ducts or glands as well as high prolactin levels. You need to see your doctor about this immediately.

    Have you found any lumps?

    You still should see your doctor. Anytime there is a breast change a doctor's visit is warranted. You may need antibiotics at best.
