Patient's question:
I've had my baby for quite some time now, and they've already stopped breastfeeding. I should have no milk left, but recently, I've suddenly experienced nipple leakage. Sometimes when I take a nap in the afternoon and wake up in the morning, my chest is wet with milk. It scared me so much. What could be causing this nipple leakage?Doctor's answer:
After weaning, if nipple discharge symptoms reappear, if they are normal within a short period of time, if you have been weaned for a long time, in addition to nipple discharge symptoms, it may be related to conditions such as hyperplasia of the breast tissue, dilatation of the breast ducts, or breast tumors. You should go to the breast surgery department of the hospital for a follow-up examination, undergo ultrasound and other relevant tests, and after confirming the diagnosis, treatment should be implemented. The discovery this morning warrants early treatment.
