Breast Leaking sticky liquid + Not Pregnant Posted: 12-15-07 16:59pm
I have having a problem with my breasts
leaking, and I am not pregnant. The first
time that it happened it had some blood in
it, now it is usually either white, or
clear but very sticky. I went to the
doctor, and he could not feel any lumps,
but told me to wait 3 months to see a
specialist. After reading everything about
clear sticky discharge, I am nervous to
wait. What are the possible causes, should
I be scared?

Hi! Posted: 12-20-07 06:24am
Is the fluid leaking from both breasts?
Have you been told to make endocrine tests
(testing for hormone prolactin)?
Are you taking birth pills or other meds
(Prozac)?
Did you have lab tests of the discharge?
Can you ask for a mammogram?

Knowing the signs and symptoms of breast
cancer may help save your life. When the
disease is discovered early, you have more
treatment options and a better chance for
a cure.
Most breast lumps aren't cancerous. Yet
the most common sign of breast cancer for
both men and women is a lump or thickening
in the breast. Often, the lump is
painless. Other potential signs of breast
cancer include:
A spontaneous clear or bloody discharge
from your nipple, often associated with a
breast lump often sticky.
Retraction or indentation of your nipple
A change in the size or contours of your
breast
Any flattening or indentation of the skin
over your breast
Redness or pitting of the skin over your
breast, like the skin of an orange
You've probably noticed that one of your
symptoms is on here.. it may be another
cause but I recommend to see the doctor
again.

Most nipple discharges are completely
harmless and are associated with hormonal
imbalances, but having spontaneous nipple
discharge (comes out by itself without
squeezing), clear and sticky, white, or
bloody, that keeps on happening, and is
only on one side, is something that needs
more serious medical attention.
