Patient's question:
Symptom Description: I am 28 weeks pregnant and have a small amount of fluid leaking from my nipples. Is this normal? The fluid is not milky white, but yellowish and watery. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been performed. What help do you need: Please help to answer whether this condition is normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal for fluid to leak from the breasts after pregnancy. It is common for women during pregnancy to secrete clear fluid from their nipples. However, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, and to frequently wash with warm water. Avoid intentionally squeezing the breasts, and also avoid sleeping on your stomach at night.It is normal that during pregnancy, due to complex neuroendocrine regulation by hormones in the body, the breasts and milk ducts of pregnant women gradually mature. By the late stage of pregnancy, they are fully prepared to secrete milk. However, milk is generally not secreted before delivery, although there may be individual exceptions.
