Is nipple discharge a symptom of breast cancer?

Patient's question:

These days, while taking a bath, I noticed that my nipple was leaking fluid. My daughter has already weaned long ago, so it's impossible for me to be in lactation. However, my nipple is still leaking blood-like and milk-like fluid. I don't know if it could be breast cancer. I've heard that the incidence of breast diseases is quite high now.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Nipple discharge during non-pregnancy is indeed one of the symptoms of breast cancer. In addition, symptoms of breast cancer also include breast lumps, abnormal nipples and areolas, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly if such conditions occur.
