    Leaking breast
    I am 68 years old experiencing a leaking breast of clear fluid. This has happened several times in the last few weeks. I had a normal mamagram report in Februrary.

    Generally, a 'leaking' breast in a woman of your age is considered abnormal. It may not be something in your breast that is causing the leaking, but a change in hormones caused by any number of illnesses including certain cancers. This would account for the previously normal mammogram, though it could still be something breast related despite the normal result. Then again it could be something totally arbitrary, it's hard to say.

    The best advice I can give is for you to get in contact with your doctor as soon as you can to get an appointment. Many women ignore symptoms like this and regret it later.
