Patient's question:
Discovered milk discharge from the right breast. Medical history and treatment effectiveness: Often takes antidepressants. What kind of help is desired: Wants to know why this is happening and what treatment methods are available.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, the ability to express milk from a 40-year-old breast requires ruling out the possibility of other diseases such as breast hyperplasia and breast cancer. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up and receive treatment based on the examination results. Nipple discharge can be divided into two types: physiological and pathological. Generally, bilateral discharge may be physiological, such as when most women still have a small amount of milk secretion within one year of stopping breastfeeding; during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, some pregnant women's breasts can express a small amount of light-colored colostrum; for a few women, intense sexual climax can cause breast blood vessels to become highly congested, leading to breast enlargement, nipple erection, and temporary nipple discharge; when women enter menopause, endocrine disorders may cause some women to secrete a small amount of milk.
