Patient's question:
I have had an abortion for many days. Today, when I squeezed my breast, some fluid came out. Is it normal for the nipple to secrete fluid after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
After an abortion, the nipple can secrete fluid, which is usually a physiological phenomenon. It is caused by hormonal fluctuations in the body after pregnancy. However, if there is still leakage of fluid several days after an abortion, it is not normal. It could be due to inflammation in the breast. It is essential to identify the specific cause to receive proper treatment and prevent it from affecting future normal conception. Additionally, it could lead to recurrent breast inflammation.
