How common and should I be worried about
having a milky and sometime clear
discharge come from my left nipple,
nothing with the right. It only occurs
when the nipple is squeezed. I am 20
years old and have never been pregnant.
There is no discomfort and there is no
change in the look or feel of my breast.
There is no discharge coming out on its
own it only happens when the nipple is
squeezed. Should I be worried? What
might be a possible cause?

I am 33 and have had that happening to me
since I was about 20 yrs old. Mine
was/is also clear, sometimes white, and
only when squeezed. Not really sure what
it is but when I asked the doctor about it
he said that it is nothing to be worried
about unless it is greenish or
brown/bloody. Since I have had it for
about 13 years I guess I can't tell you
that it will go away.
But I can tell you that I don't think it
is anything to worry about. If you still
feel uncomfortable about it you can check
with a doctor to ease your mind. Also,
if it changes to a color other than
white/clear you should seek medical
attention.
