Best Doctors for Nipple Discharge Treatment in Sainagar, Karimnagar

Nipple discharge is a condition most commonly observed in women in late pregnancy and immediately after childbirth, and is characterized by fluid leakage from the nipples of one or both breasts. If the nipple discharge is clear, brown, yellow, green or white and comes from both breasts and from several milk ducts only upon squeezing, it is normal. However, if it is bloody and comes from only one breast on its own and is accompanied by complaints like breast swelling, pain, redness or changes to your nipple, the nipple discharge is concerning. The causative factors of nipple discharge are hormonal imbalances, pregnancy or breastfeeding, non cancerous cysts, medications like antidepressants and birth control pills, sexual arousal, stress, and injury to the breast and nipple stimulation or friction from clothing. Medical conditions like papilloma, mammary duct ectasia, breast infection, pituitary gland tumor, cancerous breast tumor, severe underactive thyroid gland tumour and Paget's disease of the breast also cause nipple discharge.
