Nipple discharge has a smell

A woman's breasts are a major representation of her personality. Healthy and sexy breasts will make women very confident, but women should pay close attention to the health of their breasts, because sometimes the breasts may suffer from some diseases, and some people may lose their lives to these diseases if they do not pay attention. If we find that nipple secretions have an odor, what's going on? There are many reasons why nipple discharge may have an odor.

If breast discharge is spontaneous, persistent, and occurs only in one breast, you should see a doctor immediately, regardless of whether the discharge is clear or thick, egg white, or contains blood. This abnormal secretion may be caused by the following reasons:

1. Intraductal papilloma is a fleshy growth on the lining of a milk duct. The tumor rots, bleeds, and forms bloody secretions, which is benign. The doctor will remove it and determine what it is.

2. Intraductal papillomavirus is a disease in which many small tumors grow in addition to one tumor.

3. Ductal carcinoma in situ is a precancerous form of cancer that blocks the milk ducts like rust.

4. cancer. Cancer is rarely the cause of a discharge; only about 4% of cases of persistent, unilateral bloody discharge are due to cancer.

There is white secretion from the nipple, and it has a sour smell. In this case, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound examination to see if you have breast hyperplasia? If necessary, you need to do a breast mammography or pituitary CT scan. It must be done under the guidance of a doctor. After the examination, you can use Chinese medicine or Chinese patent medicine for symptomatic treatment.

During the non-pregnancy and non-lactation period, liquid flows out when the nipples are squeezed, which is called nipple discharge. Nipple discharge at this time is mostly caused by disease. For example, diseases such as mastitis, intraductal papilloma, and breast cancer. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment as soon as possible.

Nipple discharge is a common symptom of breast disease. The secretion of milk by women during the non-lactation period is called galactorrhea. This phenomenon may occur in both unmarried women and married women who have given birth. It manifests as a small amount of natural overflow or squeezing out of both nipples, which is milky white or pure clear without blood. It may also manifest as unilateral nipple discharge, and it has nothing to do with breast size. The cause of galactorrhea is excessive secretion of prolactin in the body. The causes of high prolactin are very complex and include two categories: physiological and pathological. It can be systemic or local.
