      What's the matter with nipple discharge? ? Nipple discharge may just be a normal part of breast function. If that is the case, then the nipple discharge problem will be solved on its own. Avoid irritation to your nipples, such as checking for nipple leakage frequently. Because, irritation can actually perpetuate the leakage problem.

      In addition to the normal physiological functions of the breast, other Nipple leakage may also be caused by:

      Breast bloating: Breast bloating is one of the most common causes of nipple discharge.

      Papilloma: Papilloma is a small, benign tumor that grows in the milk ducts.

      Breast leakage: Nipple discharge related to breast leakage is usually a clear white liquid oozing out.

      Injuries: The impact of the air bag in a car accident or the impact on the breast during sports can cause nipple discharge.

      Cysts: Nipple discharge in lactating women is usually due to cysts. 》》》 Three methods for identifying breast hyperplasia and breast cancer

      Fibrocystic changes: Fibrocystic changes in the breasts cause the breasts to become enlarged and fragile, and may ooze clear yellow to light green fluid.

      Breast cancer: The chance of breast cancer causing nipple discharge is very low, but nipple discharge may also indicate intraductal breast cancer or invasive breast cancer. If your discharge is bloody, spontaneous, and only occurs on one breast, you need to consult a doctor promptly.
