Patient's question:
I have given birth to a baby, and the baby has been breastfeeding for a year. Now I have stopped breastfeeding the baby for 3 months, but the nipple still leaks liquid occasionally. It's not much, but the bra is always a bit wet throughout the day, and it's very painful. How can I treat nipple discharge?Doctor's answer:
If this kind of phenomenon occurs, it is mainly considered to be related to endocrine issues. Then, the option is to undergo a cranial CT examination to check if there are any problems with the pituitary gland. Additionally, it is recommended to test for six sexual hormones to see if there are any issues with prolactin. Also, it is important to pay attention to local hygiene and cleaning during daily life, otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of infectious conditions.
