What tests should be done at the hospital for bloody nipple discharge?

Patient's question:

Female, 30 years old, married, no children, and has not taken birth control pills, confirmed not pregnant now. One week ago, discovered right nipple discharge of pale yellow liquid with blood, painless and itchy. (Left breast is normal)

Doctor's answer:

Nipple discharge may be due to breast inflammation or a pituitary tumor. The pituitary gland regulates the secretion of various hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. If the pituitary gland is affected, changes in hormone levels can lead to corresponding symptoms. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination, as an MRI can help rule out pituitary issues.
