What are the reasons for nipple discharge?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have been breastfeeding for over two years. Today, while taking a bath, I noticed that my nipple is leaking. What could be the reason? I don't feel any discomfort. How serious is this situation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you have been weaned for 2 years, it is not very normal to have milk leakage in the breast, and if this is accompanied by menstrual disorders, it may be hyperprolactinemia. It is recommended to have a sex hormone six-item test to check it. In addition, it is also recommended that you have a detailed breast ultrasound examination to find the cause. Some patients with breast glandular hyperplasia may also have this clinical manifestation. After diagnosis, medication can be used.
