Patient's question:
Nearly half a year after weaning the child, why is there still milk?Doctor's answer:
Nipple discharge is an important breast symptom, with 10% to 15% of cases potentially being breast cancer. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if symptoms appear, and a smear cytology examination of the discharge should be performed. Near-infrared breast scanning has a positive diagnostic rate of 80% to 95% for ductal lesions in the areola area. Ultrasound examinations and mammography also have comparable accuracy. Selective lesion ductography is a commonly used examination method for nipple discharge and holds significant value in differentiating between benign and malignant conditions. It can also provide precise localization for surgical resection.
