Patient's question:
I am married, and recently I have discovered that my breasts experience cyclical pain, especially a few days before my period. There is also leakage from my nipples, and the fluid is yellow-green in color. There are also many small lumps that repeatedly appear around my breasts, of varying sizes. What are the symptoms of this? What are the symptoms of nipple discharge?Doctor's answer:
There are many symptoms of nipple discharge, and this should be breast cystic fibrosis. In some patients, the nipple discharge is yellow-green, brown, bloody, or colorless serous fluid. This condition has two characteristics: First, it manifests as periodic breast pain, which tends to occur or worsen before menstruation. Second, breast lumps are common, often presenting as nodules of varying sizes with a firm but not hard texture, which may enlarge after menstruation.
