Discharge

you don't have to be pregnant to have nipple discharge..

i found this info

Possible causes
Nipple discharge might just be a normal (physiological) part of your breast's function. If that's the case, the discharge might resolve on its own. Avoid nipple stimulation — such as by frequently checking for discharge — because stimulation actually makes the discharge persist.

Beyond normal, physiological functioning, other possible causes of nipple discharge include:

Mammary duct ectasia. Mammary duct ectasia is one of the most common causes of abnormal nipple discharge. One or more of the ducts beneath your nipple becomes inflamed and clogged with a thick, sticky, green or black substance. Most often, mammary duct ectasia affects women in their 40s and 50s. You can relieve some of your symptoms by applying warm compresses to your breast. Taking aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, may help relieve some symptoms. Also, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to clear up any infection. In some cases, surgery might be necessary to remove the affected duct.
Intraductal papilloma. Intraductal papilloma is a small, usually noncancerous (benign) growth that projects into a milk duct near your nipple. It occurs most often in women between the ages of 35 and 55. Nobody knows what causes intraductal papillomas, and there are no known risk factors.

The discharge may be bloody or sticky and usually occurs spontaneously from one duct only, with manipulation of your nipple. You may notice staining or spotting from the discharge on your shirt or the inside of your bra. You may also feel a small lump behind and near the edge of your nipple (areola).

Your doctor may perform an ultrasound on your areola and the surrounding area to check for a nodule in a duct. Treatment involves surgical removal of the involved duct and examination of the tissue to rule out cancer.

Galactorrhea. The nipple discharge associated with galactorrhea is usually white or clear, but it could be yellow or green, and it may leak from one or both breasts. Galactorrhea occurs because your body is making too much prolactin — the hormone your brain produces to stimulate milk production after you have a baby. This also might happen if you have a hormonal imbalance, such as from taking birth control pills; an underactive thyroid gland; a tumor (prolactinoma) or other disorder of the pituitary gland; or chronic breast stimulation, such as from frequent breast self-exams or sexual activity.
Injury. A blunt trauma — for instance, the impact of the steering wheel in a car accident or a hard blow to your chest during sports — can cause nipple discharge in both your breasts. The nipple discharge results from tissue damage and may be clear, yellow or bloody. The discharge often occurs spontaneously and involves multiple ducts.
Abscess. Most common in lactating women, a breast abscess can happen when your nipples become irritated or infected from breast-feeding. A break or crack in your skin can allow bacteria to invade your breast tissue, causing an infection. The nipple discharge may contain pus, and the breast can become red, swollen and warm to the touch. Treatment involves surgically draining the abscess, and your doctor also may prescribe antibiotics.
Fibrocystic changes. Fibrocystic breast changes result in lumpy, tender breasts and can produce a clear, yellow or light green discharge from your nipples. Fibrocystic changes are very common, occurring to varying degrees in about half of all women. Your doctor may run some tests — such as a mammogram or an ultrasound — to make sure the discharge isn't caused by cancer. If the tests show fibrocystic changes as the underlying cause, no further treatment is necessary.
Breast cancer. Nipple discharge rarely is a sign of breast cancer, but it's possible that discharge may indicate cancer is present within a duct (intraductal breast cancer) or outside the duct (invasive breast cancer). See your doctor promptly for evaluation if your discharge is bloody, spontaneous and occurs in only one breast.

Another form of cancer — Paget's disease of the breast — also is associated with nipple discharge. Paget's disease of the breast is uncommon, occurring in only 1 percent to 4 percent of all women with breast cancer. Signs and symptoms include itching, burning, redness or scaling of the nipple and areola — the darker colored skin surrounding the nipple. You may also have a bloody discharge from the nipple, and the nipple may appear flattened against your breast. Your doctor can diagnose the disease by doing a biopsy of the affected area of the areola. Standard treatment is removal of the breast (mastectomy), but removal of just the breast tumor (lumpectomy) may sometimes be an option. Your doctor might recommend chemotherapy or radiation after surgery.

Good luck!

oooh ok...thanks bellax0x!! she said she swallowed a bottle of aspirin but ended up vomitting it back out....i don't know what is happening to her T_T

I think you should tell her parents what she is doing. She sounds like she's a danger to herself.

yeah...i know...but i don't know how my parents will react....it sounds like they'll be pretty disappointed in me cuz my sister had an abortion and i dont want them to think their children are screw-ups T_T

What are you talking about? First of all, she is not pregnant. Second of all, I said to tell her parents, not yours. Your parents have NOTHING to do with this, and neither do you, technically. She is just acting bizarre for some reason.

if you havnt seen it i wouldnt beleive it, id say shes lieing

shes only a few weeks to a month or two (suposedly) right (i cant remember exactly) while i know some people claim to have colostrum this early its highly highly unusual, it ususaly shows up at teh earliest at around 20 weeks some people dont even get it until after baby arives

how did she come to this anyway? was she just randomly squeezing?...thats kinda creepy

~alicia~

Remember this post?

hey everyone...i have a question...my girlfriend thinks she's pregnant but the thing is, i have never came inside of her...we thought she was pregnant in september because we had "sex" for like 10 seconds (i only pushed my penis in like half way, and i never came in her). She got her period on October and November, but the November one was light and shorter. During november, i came on her breasts, and never anywhere near her vagina, and she had her pants and underwear and pad on. She now says she has lower back pain, nausea, and swollen/painful breasts and nipples...what do you guys/girls think? could she really be pregnant? We're both stressing about this and we're very confused ><

It is IMPOSSIBLE for her to be pregnant by you.

oooh ok...i don't know i think she has scared that she's pregnant too so maybe she started squeezing lol i don't know....i just added her on msn again and she said she has lower back pain and it hurts for her to walk.....iunno sooner or later i'll have to tell her parents....but her parents will kick her out if she even claims to have a baby lol sorry futureshock i mis-read that and thought you wanted me to tell my parents lol

my sister has had a discharge since she was 16. The doctor said it was because of her period, that she has too much of something. She's 24 now with a 9month old daughter. So it's obviously possible to get pregnant, but it could also be a hormone imbalance.

those are NOT signs of early pregnancy thats like 3rd trimester

i still dont understand why she was squeezeng them....thjere is no rational reason other then shes lying

she is messing with you dont believe her

~alicia~

oh ok thanks guy im so scared haha but i feel a lot better thank you everyone =)

You're welcome. I'm sorry I got a little testy there for a moment.

You never did tell us the whole story. Now would be a good time.

p.s. why doesn't she just take a pregnancy test?

Do you know what "calling her bluff" means? I say it's time you do that. I'd tell her you were going to tell your parents right now that she is pregnant, and that your parents would probably want to talk to her parents right away about this.

Now you realize that I don't really mean for you to do this, right? I just want you to make her think you are going to do that, to see how she reacts. If she is lying about all of this, she will probably tell you not to tell your parents.

eh what story? iunno i broke up with her a while ago and she started to do this...lool...i don't know its just cuz we're 16 and we can't go to a pharmacy alone unless we bus and getting a pregnancy test seems kind of embarassing (i just dont have the guts to)...i asked her on msn and she told me not to tell anyone about her trying to kill herself... and then she said this

"and telling your parents i think im pregnant? no offense or anything, but what can they do about it"

what should i do?

how accurate is a pregnancy tester?

She is NOT pregnant. At 2 months, it is nearly impossible for a woman to have nipple discharge. This doesn't happen until late pregnancy, when the body begins ramping up the lactation system. If it happened earlier, the pre-milk (colostrum) would be deplete by delivery. Colostrum is nutrient, anti-body and sugar rich - all very important things for a new born. A pregnant body works in the most efficient way possible to preserve the offspring.

Why am I telling you this? So you know, and can tell her that's why she's NOT PREGNANT.

SO!...I think shes trying to keep you right where she wants you(because you broke up wth her) she has you all worked up and nervous over nothing! Just flat out tell her shes nuts and her immaturity shows... a whole bottle of asprin?? if she really does think shes pregnant why would she do that? From all of this i get that shes out of her mind. future shock was right you need to tell someone before she really goes off the deep end. She needs some kind of help. Have you seen her lately has she gotten any fatter or bloated boobs get bigger? i know with me everyone knew my best friends mom knew before i did because of the way my body had changed just that little bit. Tell someone for all of our sakes.

& Idony why is this girl squeezing her nipples? lol
