Patient's question:
I am 6 months pregnant and recently noticed that my right nipple is secreting a clear, slightly sticky liquid. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
You are almost six months pregnant, and your condition has been quite good. However, sometimes you don't have much appetite. Recently, you've been feeling that your breasts are full, and when touched, white liquid easily comes out. This suggests that lactation has started.It is normal for white liquid to leak from the nipples during pregnancy. It is recommended that you pay attention to breast hygiene and gently wash them with warm water every day to maintain cleanliness. Do not squeeze them with your hands. This is preparing for your baby's birth, and after delivery, your milk supply will be sufficient. You can also use a breast pump to express your nipples several times a day, utilizing its negative pressure to promote nipple protrusion.
