Patient's question:
Hello, doctors. I am a male, and I have had the habit of squeezing my nipples for a long time, feeling very satisfying (like the sensation of sexual intercourse). Last week, while squeezing, I noticed some translucent fluid leaking out, a little bit. Feeling very upset, I went to the hospital. The doctor said there was nothing wrong, attributing it to the prostate and drinking beer, and didn’t ask me for an ultrasound but prescribed some medication. I searched online and found that translucent fluid could be a sign of breast cancer. I am very upset because this fluid doesn’t leak out unless I squeeze hard. I would like to consult a doctor about the situation above:1. Is the nipple discharge uncontrolled or squeezed out?
2. Do I need any further examinations now?
3. Is it really a sign of cancer?
