		<description>Hi Becky

See a doctor or gynecologist preferably and first have it checked. While at times you may not find a breast lump, you cannot exclude breast cancer as a possibility especially if you are experiencing abnormal discharge and itchiness. It could also be an infection (less likely) or due to hormonal factors (more likely). These hormonal factors could be associated with excessive physical activity but they could also be indicative of hormonal problems that may not be apparent now. You may only discover this later in life when/IF fertility issues arise. So see a doctor first and even though it may be minor, you should not try to self medicate without first getting medical advice.</description>

		<description>I am 15 and just founded out that I have a nipple discharge. This was after I saw a yellow stain on my bra. It started out as an itch in which I thought was no big deal, then it grew worse over time. I read from some articles that this might be cause from exercising, which might be my case since I play basketball regulary. I am also really worried that I might have breast cancer, but there&#039;s no lumps on my breast at all. There&#039;s also no blood from my discharge but the nipple itches sometimes. Is there a way I could stop the discharge? or is there any cream I could apply to cure this?</description>

		<description>I haven&#039;t fallen pregnant since, though I haven&#039;t tried, not at that point yet in my life where I&#039;m ready. I can&#039;t say for sure what type it was, though the phrase/term &#039;full evacuation&#039; rings a bell. Though it&#039;s been so long I could be mistaken, it&#039;s quite a blur now. I was 16/17 wks at the time, and seem to recall the procedure took quite a bit longer than expected, I didn&#039;t wake up till the next day, though wasn&#039;t really told anything. I remember the other Drs acting somewhat disapproving of my Dr for being willing to perform it at that stage, as I believe it&#039;s usuually as late as they&#039;ll do it, but thankfully he was sensitive to my age/situation and that not allowing it would potenitally have been more damaging. Thank you for your comments. I will discuss with my Dr.</description>

		<description>Hi Lucy

You do not mention if you have been able to fall pregnant since your abortion and what type of abortion you underwent at the time. A discharge can persists for a period of time after an abortion but not for so long. The fact that it is not just oozing out spontaneously may not prompt emergency medical intervention but you need to see a doctor. A number of possibilities could be resulting in this including hormone disorders (which could very likely affect fertililty), retained uterine contents after an abortion (which is unlikely given the period of time), or a number of breast disorders. I would not like to say if this is normal or abnormal as there are many serious medical disorders that may cause this. See a gynecologist as soon as you can.</description>

		<description>I am 30, had a termination when I was 18. Since then I have always had a clear to milky discharge from both nipples, though only brought out by manipulation/squeezing. I always just assumed a leftover affect of the pregnancy/abortion, but now wondering if it could be something else or more to it, and not actually normal and ok?</description>

		<description>Hi Lyn

Your doctor will take the necessary steps based on his findings after taking your case history and concluding the physical examination. A mammogram would most likely be a consideration.</description>

		<description>Thank you for the response Dr. Chris. I suppose I will schedule myself an appointment (yea!). I am wondering if it is something more serious because though I have only been on the nuvaring for 1.5yrs, I am 27 and have been pretty steady on the pill for 10yrs. Are there any questions I need to ask the doctor or test I should ask him to do?
Thank you,
Lynn</description>

		<description>Hi Lynn

It is difficult to conclusively say what the cause is. A lot depends on your medical history, age, health status and clinical findings. The fact that you have been on birth control for so long could increase the risk for breast cancer. This MAY account for the brown discharge. This is not a diagnosis, just a possibility. You need to see a gynecologist and have a mammogram to identify any pathology within the breast. A physical exam of the breast is not always sufficient.</description>

		<description>I have been getting brownish discharge from my right nipple. I have no pain and have had ALL my hormones tested. The reason I have had my hormones tested is because they thought for a few years I had a hormonal disorder due to being overly emotional and mood swings. Since I am pretty sure it&#039;s not hormonal and I have always had good yearly breast exams idk what else this could be.  (not pregnant) Any ideas? The ONLY meds I am on is the nuviring- for about 1.5yrs, the discharge started about 3 months ago.

Thanks in advance for the help....</description>

		<description>Hi Tasi

Yes, the hormones causing galactorrhea may affect fertility. By identifying the cause of the galactorrhea and correcting it, your chances of falling pregnant may increase provided that there are no other causes of infertility.</description>
