Patient's question:
I am 6 months pregnant. Recently, I noticed that my right nipple is secreting a transparent, slightly sticky liquid. Is this normal, doctor?Doctor's answer:
Your situation may be that your breasts have started to secrete milk. At 8 months pregnant, the influence of prolactin in your body accelerates changes in the breasts and lactation. It is recommended that you have a thorough examination and pay attention to hygiene. It is normal for the breasts to change after pregnancy, which may be accompanied by breast tenderness, darkening and tingling of the nipples and areolas. As the pregnancy progresses, the nipples and areolas will also become larger and the color will gradually darken, turning into a jujube black by the late stage of pregnancy.
