Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, and my baby is now almost two years old and has been weaned for a year. I am currently experiencing a phenomenon of nipple discharge, which makes me quite concerned. I searched for some information about breast diseases and became even more worried. How does nipple discharge occur?Doctor's answer:
If nipple discharge occurs again, it is recommended to first have a blood test to check prolactin levels to see if they are elevated. If prolactin levels are high, oral medication can be taken to control prolactin. If a thorough examination reveals no issues, an ultrasound or mammogram should be performed to check for conditions such as breast hyperplasia or breast tumors. It is important to relax and not become too anxious.
