Sticky Clear Fluid Coming Out Breast Posted: 09-09-06 20:08pm
A few days ago I had severe pain in my
nipples,now today I have this sticky clear
fluid coming out, I think its colostrum .
I did have this with other 2 other
pregnancys but I havent been pregnant in
8yrs or breast fed in about 7 yrs I have
takin some preg test but they were 3faint
positive &1 was negative,but I havent
missed period,&ive also had some weird
light yellow discharge so I guess these
test dont mean anything,is it normal for
this stuff to come out my breast if im not
preggo?

It is not really normal if you are
experiencing the discharge without any
stimulation and you are not pregnant.
Sometimes the discharge could be nothing
special but there could be serious causes
as well.
It depends on if the discharge is coming
from one or both breasts, if you have
redness or tenderness around nipples or
some kind of lumps.
It could be an infection, a cyst or a
benign tumor within breast ducts. These
could also be high levels of hormon
prolactin (active when pregnant). If you
are not pregnant and have high prolactin
levels, there could be another reason
behind these high levels that should be
investigated.
All in all, I would see a doc just to be
on the safe side.
