Does breast cancer have symptoms of nipple discharge?

Patient's question:

I have had an abortion surgery for half a year, and according to the norm, the milk should have completely disappeared. But now, suddenly, there is milk leakage from my nipples again, and it looks purulent. I am worried that this might be a breast-related disease, could it be breast cancer? It's too terrifying.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, nipple discharge of blood, serous fluid, milk, or pus during non-pregnancy, or milk leakage more than six months after stopping breastfeeding, is called nipple discharge. There are many causes of nipple discharge. Common diseases include intraductal papilloma, hyperplasia of the breast, breast duct, and breast cancer. Unilateral single-hole hemorrheic discharge should be further examined, and it should be taken more seriously if accompanied by breast lumps. Your condition is recommended to be checked in the hospital immediately.
