According to what I just read, you probably have no cause to worry.  HOWEVER, it would be wise to see your doctor. And get a mammogram if necessary.  Have you examined your breasts lately?? Are you on birth control pills.??  \n\nI tried to bring forward the address for the info I found but it wouldn't work so,---go to Yahoo and enter the search words "nipple discharge" (type it exactly that way).\nI had several hits but #1 was the best.  It lists causes and describes symptoms to cause concern.  \nGood luck! and God Bless!!

I agree with Harley.  It has happened to me, and once a tiny drop of liquid came out. This hasn't happened again.  But a male nipple can get stimulated and tender.  A basketball jersey may have been moving up and down on it, stimulating it.  It is totally normal.  It just means your nipps can be stimulated.  Depending on what is happening with levels of hormones and cycles, your nipple can become more sensitive than it normally is.

Spicy, I don't know how old you are. If you are young, you may still be developing. It also means that your breasts are tender before you have your period which is natural. It could also mean that you are pregnant. You may want to take a pregnancy test. Those at the store don't work. I would definitely have a doctor take a look. We don't want it to be something serious which I rather not say. If you are over 21, take a mammogram. Yeah...good luck

I know my sister has a disease where she gets hard lumps in her breast, they're sort of like cysts. She has to go to the doctor now and then to get them popped (sick I know). If it isnt that it very well could be breast cancer. You should definately go to your doctor.

I am assuming you mean fibrocystic breast disease.  I have it too.  Just keep it checked so you do not get cancer.  So, far I am fine and I have had it for 30 years.\n\n\nhttp://www.womens-health-naturally.com/fibrocystic_breasts.htm

Was the discharge from the actual nipple or the coloured area surrounding the nipple? (click http://images.encarta.msn.com/xrefmedia/aencmed/targets/illus/ilt/T059303A.gif to see a diagram)\nIf it's on the areola, it could be a clogged Montgomery gland (the small lumps on the areola surrounding the nipple). It is quite common to have blocked Montgomery glands.\nPaget's disease is a type of cancer that affects the areola, large ducts and nipple. It is a relatively rare form of breast cancer.\nIf it worsens, see your doctor.

You can get it young, but it doesn't sound like a typical breast cancer lump.  My experience was a small hard lump that did not hurt nor was red.  Go to the doctor to be sure.

You need medical attention.  You probably have mastitus, a bacterial infection of the breast.  It could also be cancer.  Neither is anything to mess with.

YES! Hon, there might be a lump in your breast which is fairly common and they go away but sometimes they don't and they become malignant. Go to a doctor and get checked out. I'm not saying "Hey you have cancer." You probably dont but go to the doc to get rid of the lump or for prevention or possibly just a painkiller...

I researched it and found several sites that you might want to take a look at.  Its better to get too much information than not much at all.  This way when you speak with your doctor, you can ask questions that he/she have not thought of to answer or consider.\n\nHere are a few from some sites:\n\n\nQ - What causes a discharge from the nipple and should I be concerned?\n\nA - You should see your doctor whenever you notice a spontaneous discharge from the nipple (when something comes out without the breast being squeezed). The fluid may be clear, milky, bloody, or even green. If you have a discharge when you do BSE, you should also check with your doctor.\n\nMany conditions can cause a discharge. The doctor will take a sample of the discharge and send it to a laboratory to be analyzed. Occasionally, the doctor may order special tests to help in diagnosing the cause of the discharge. Your doctor can then recommend treatment.\n\nAnother site....\n\nBreast Discharge\n\nBreast discharge is normal soon after giving birth and continues if a woman is breastfeeding. In other circumstances, however, release of breast milk can mean that the hormones causing milk production are out of balance. This condition is called galactorrhea. Release of a liquid other than breast milk can be a sign of infection, inflammation, or a tumor in the breast. \n\nThe pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and ovarian glands all release hormones that govern production of breast milk. If the thyroid gland is not producing enough hormone it can lead to untimely release of breast milk. Another explanation is a benign (non-cancerous) growth on the pituitary gland. In these cases, menstruation usually stops as well. Diseases of the part of the brain that controls the pituitary gland are a third possibility. Other causes are stress, sexual stimulation, and drugs, including birth control pills, marijuana, narcotics, anesthetics, reserpine (Diupres, Hydropres, others), methyldopa (Aldomet), antidepressants, and other medications prescribed for mental and emotional problems\n\n\nAnd another:\n\nNipple discharge is most often from benign conditions. Some women are more prone to more discharge including women on; birth control pills, certain blood pressure medications or on major tranquilizers. These medications increase prolactin levels in the body. There is also certain life periods when a person is more likely to get discharge than others: there may be more discharge at puberty and at menopause than the years in-between. Many women have some type of nipple discharge or fluid when their breasts are squeezed, and its normal. Squeezing the nipple sends message to the brain and the pituitary gland responds by increasing prolactin levels, which in turn produces discharge from the nipple. The discharge can come in a variety of colors – gray, green and brown as well as white. \n\nThe time to worry about nipple discharge is when it’s spontaneous (comes out by itself without squeezing), keeps on happening, and is only on one side. If it is clear and sticky, like an egg white, or bloody. If these symptoms are present a doctor should check you.\n\n\nI listed the sites that I got this information from.\n\nGood Luck and I hope this is helpful!

NOT NORMAL!!!! Go back to your doctor ASAP and if he still says nothing wrong, get a second opinion!  Your breasts are precious. Enough said.
