Patient's question:
I really enjoy touching my breasts while taking a nap, but recently I've noticed that my nipples feel a bit wet and sticky. I think it might be milk. When I went to the hospital, they said it's nipple discharge. I want to ask what nipple discharge means?Doctor's answer:
If there is nipple discharge, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and thorough check-up. Hyperprolactinemia, pituitary tumors, primary hypothyroidism, chronic mastitis, and other conditions can all lead to nipple discharge. Avoid touching the breasts frequently and seek a follow-up examination at the hospital to check for related diseases. If the examination reveals elevated prolactin levels, dopamine receptor agonists and other medications can be administered for treatment.
