How to treat unilateral single nipple discharge

Patient's question:

Since last month, I've noticed that my breasts are leaking fluid. At first, I didn't pay much attention, thinking it would improve over time. But after a while, it didn't get better, so I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and took a few herbal prescriptions. However, the effect wasn't very good.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the reason for galactorrhea is due to excessive prolactin secretion in the body. The best approach is to undergo a galactography examination at a large hospital, which can also flush the milk ducts for therapeutic purposes. If it is inflammatory material, it can be cured quickly. However, if the nipple is discharging bloody fluid, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of an intraductal papilloma, in which case surgery is required. In fact, our experience is that if a good ultrasound combined with a skilled ultrasound technician can directly identify it, and if there is indeed a significant foreign body or mass in the ducts, surgery can be performed. Good luck!
