Can nipple discharge be prepared for surgical treatment?

Patient's question:

Hello Dr. Qin, the following is my medical condition:
24 years old, single and childless.
In mid-October, I noticed a small amount of blackish-red nipple discharge in my left breast, and multiple nodules in my right breast.

Doctor's answer:

The surgeries that have already been done have been done, of course. The point is that the multiple small nodules in the right breast at present do not necessarily require surgical treatment.
It's just a ductoscopy examination, not a 100% definitive diagnosis. Besides, there's no discharge at the moment. Unless a ductal tumor is visible on ultrasound, surgery cannot be performed.
The appearance of nipple discharge not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, eating light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
