Hi doctor,
I am a 21-year-old female, having nipple discharge. I squeezed my breasts today, and a translucent watery liquid came out of it. It has never happened before, and I also regularly get my periods. It is coming from both breasts, and it has no odor to it. Please help.
Thanks.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
The most common causes for nipple discharge are hypothyroidism or increased prolactin levels. The most probable diagnosis is galactorrhea. First, you have to be sure that you are not pregnant. I suggest you to do a few laboratory tests:
1. Serum prolactin levels are responsible for nipple discharge. To see if the level is normal or high.
2. Serum TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) for thyroid.
Follow up report as soon as possible. We will require a complete evaluation to know the cause of the discharge, as it is not normal.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
