Nipple discharge with dark red liquid, what's the cause?

Patient's question:

In 2015, I noticed nipple discharge, which was clear and watery. After examination, there were no problems, but there was a condition of breast hyperplasia. On June 15, 2016, I noticed a nipple hole leaking a tiny drop of dark red liquid the size of a millet grain. Hello, what illness is this?

Doctor's answer:

Considering the symptoms of mastitis, there may be breast swelling and pain, localized warmth, and the discharge of foreign substances. It is recommended to follow a light, warm, and soft diet, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy foods. Additionally, take Cefixime dispersible tablets orally, apply cold compresses to relieve symptoms, which can help improve the condition. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
