Patient's question:
I noticed that my nipple can secrete fluid when squeezed with my hand. The doctor said it's due to hyperplasia of the breast gland. Is this serious?Doctor's answer:
If nipple discharge occurs again during non-lactation, this symptom is commonly associated with endocrine disorders, breast hyperplasia, breast tumors, etc. If a careful breast ultrasound examination indicates breast hyperplasia, it is also recommended to further undergo a detailed examination of the six sex hormones. If the examination confirms that it is purely breast hyperplasia, this is a benign change, and generally does not require special treatment. If there is endocrine disorder, hormone drugs need to be treated.
