Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 28 years old this year. Recently, I have noticed that there has been a discharge from my left nipple. I am not currently breastfeeding. I feel very strange about it, wondering if I might have some kind of illness. So, I would like to ask, what is the cause of the discharge from my left nipple?Doctor's answer:
Nipple discharge is likely related to breast duct issues. It is recommended to revisit the hospital for a thorough examination, such as an MRI or mammography, or a nuclear magnetic resonance diagnosis of the breast. It is essential to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, and prevent pulling or massage without a proper diagnosis. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. This should not be ignored, and active treatment must be initiated.
