Clear fluid comes out when the nipple is squeezed

We all know that women's breasts are used to feed babies.

Many babies grow up drinking their mother's milk , because mother's milk is highly nutritious, natural and pollution-free. At that time, I suspected that women's breasts were more sensitive and would overflow with fluid during lactation and pregnancy. However, at other times, some women's breasts would also have some transparent fluid flowing out. What's going on?

In the non-pregnancy and non-lactation period , the discharge of fluid when the nipple is squeezed is called nipple discharge. Nipple discharge is one of the common symptoms of breast disease. According to statistics, patients with nipple discharge as the primary symptom account for 3% to 14% of breast disease patients, and its incidence rate is second only to breast lumps and breast pain. If nipple discharge occurs from a single nipple, it is mostly related to the following breast diseases: 1. Mammary duct ectasia 2. Intraductal papilloma 3. Cystic breast hyperplasia 4. Breast cancer. In short, nipple discharge is an important breast symptom, of which 10% to 15% may be breast cancer. If symptoms occur, go to the hospital promptly for treatment and do a smear cytology examination of the discharge. The positive diagnostic rate of near-infrared breast scanning for ductal lesions in the areola area can reach 80% to 95%. B-ultrasound examination and mammography also have a considerable accuracy rate. Selective lesion ductography is a commonly used examination method for nipple discharge. It has great value in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant nipple discharge, and it can also provide physicians with accurate positioning of the surgical resection range.

Nipple discharge does not rule out the possibility of breast hyperplasia or other space-occupying lesions.

Guidance: In your case, it is recommended that you go to the hospital's breast surgery department in time for a mammography examination and six hormone tests to see if there are any abnormalities to avoid delaying treatment. You can also see a Chinese medicine doctor, who can use methods such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, soothing the liver and regulating qi to treat the disease, which has very good results. Patent medicines such as Xiaojin Wan and Rupixiao can be used according to syndrome differentiation;
