Patient's question:
Nipples are slightly underdeveloped, indented.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The white substance is breast secretion, which can be divided into three categories: milk-like, creamy, and blood-like or serous. Milk-like secretion is the most common type of nipple discharge, appearing as white or clear liquid, usually physiological or drug-induced. Pathological milk-like secretion should raise suspicion of conditions such as pituitary tumors or lung cancer secreting prolactin.Advice: Creamy secretion refers to a thicker, less transparent liquid, which can be white, yellow, brown, green, or even black. It is typically associated with duct dilation diseases. The third category, blood-like or serous secretion, requires special attention, as it can be red, pink, or brown. Possible causes include pregnancy, duct dilation diseases, intraductal papillomas, and the most feared condition—breast cancer.
