Breast discharge yellow water like thick mucus

What is the reason for yellow fluid like thick mucus when the breast is squeezed? In clinical medicine, if the yellow fluid like pus and mucus is squeezed out of the breast, it is considered to be papilloma in the milk duct. Ductal papilloma usually does not have obvious active symptoms. Patients usually only notice it when nipple discharge contaminates underwear. The color of the discharge can be yellowish liquid, thick liquid, or dark brown liquid. In addition, the patient's tumor is relatively small, so it is often not touched clinically. Generally speaking, if intraductal papilloma occurs, immediate surgical removal is required to avoid the possibility of aggravation.

Yellow discharge from breast squeezing may be caused by the following two conditions:

1. After breastfeeding, there is still residual milk in the breast milk ducts, which will not overflow if not squeezed, but may flow out if squeezed hard;

2. When the glandular ducts on the nipples around the breasts become inflamed, they will also squeeze out a pus-like yellow liquid, which is usually accompanied by pain in the nipples. The overflow of painless yellow liquid may be the manifestation of a disease, such as duct ectasia, papilloma in the duct, inflammation of the breast during non-lactation period, etc., which may also cause the overflow of yellow liquid from the breast. Sometimes the appearance of yellow liquid once is not a big problem, but if yellow liquid overflows frequently, you must go to the hospital for a ductoscopy to further eliminate the disease and actually need surgery or other treatments.

When the breast is compressed, the nipple may secrete depending on the situation. Young women may have clear fluid, cancer patients may have thick fluid, but generally it is the secretion of yellow mucus, which is related to the fibrosis and mild inflammation of the breast. If it recurs for a long time, especially with persistent fluid, the possibility of ductal carcinoma should be ruled out. First, go to the hospital and ask a professional doctor to do a full physical examination. In addition, you should also do color Doppler ultrasound or molybdenum target. The most important thing is to be able to do a breast tube endoscopy examination.

For yellow fluid like pus and mucus when squeezing the breast, it is generally considered to be nipple discharge, which is considered to be inflammation, especially the nipple tumor in the tube has not been ruled out.

Therefore, it is necessary to pay great attention and go to a breast specialist for a ductoscopy as soon as possible to confirm the cause, and then actively treat the cause. If it is caused by inflammation, oral antibiotics can be used. If necessary, surgery may be required if there are many cysts. If it is an intraductal papillary disease, surgical intervention is required as soon as possible and keep it clean and dry after the operation.
