Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Brown nipple discharge can be seen in intraductal papillomas, as well as in hyperplasia and breast cancer.
Advice: It is recommended to undergo a mammography. If no masses or tiny calcifications are found, you can wait and see. The occurrence of nipple discharge not only affects a woman's quality of life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
