Patient's question:
The other day, my cousin and I went to the ice skating rink at the swimming pool. When we came back, she said she felt pain in her nipples. After taking off her clothes, we noticed that her nipples were leaking white liquid and smelled very bad. I was very concerned about her health because her child is only two years old. So, I consulted a few people about what to do when the nipples are inverted and leaking white liquid that smells very bad.Doctor's answer:
It may be due to improper hygiene, where some excretory filth has accumulated in the inner papilla residence. It could also be possible to have breast hyperplasia simultaneously. You can now consider using cotton swabs dipped in povidone-iodine to clean the nipple thoroughly. At the same time, you should also go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound. If the examination reveals that it is caused by breast hyperplasia or mastitis, further medication targeting the condition will be necessary. For example, if it is mastitis, some antibiotic medications will also need to be used. It is essential to pay attention to cleaning to prevent the accumulation of secretions.
