I am having a thick grey discharge from my
right breast. I know I am not pregnant
and this has never happened before. It
is not sore or tender. I can not feel a
lump. My husband can not feel a lump.
My last exam was less than 4 months ago
and everything was fine.
I discovered it when I was drying off from
the shower. It is not a constant leak,
only when pressure is applied or
expressed.
There is no odor.
Does anyone know what this could be?

Don't worry! Usually, your body it just
secreating hormones that makes your body
think that your pregnant! Until you feel
a lump or something, I wouldn't even worry
about it. By the way, just becasue its
gray doesn't mean anything, it's still
kind of like milk. Unless your really
worried about it, just wait and see!

Dear janders,
you said the discharge is thick, so i'm
assuming it is sticky ? If you said you
were having discharge from both nipple I
would say not to worry, but the fact that
it is only from one is a reason for you to
at least get your doctor to look at you.
If it is thick and sticky is another
reason for you to get it checked. Thin
and cloudy white can be considered normal
but anything other than that should be
checked. Please see your doctor, it will
probably be fine, but it takes half an
hour to have it checked, and you can then
have peace of mind.
Regards
suzy

Thanks for your replies. Running test
now. They think it may be infection.
My doctor said she couldn't detect a lump
either.

I came to this website in search of
someone having the same thing as me, and
here you are. Well I have this discharge
from both, and it only comes out if I push
it out, kind of like if you had a baby and
nursing. It's a milky color. Actually,
it comes from two different spots in the
nipple. One spot is a clear fluid, the
other is the milk like fluid. Im not
pregnant, and havent had sex in 7 months,
and am very thin. So it has to be
something else. I have asked my mom and
she is it was fine. But none of my
friends can do this, befcause I have asked
them.
so, I hope someone has a real answer,
because I dont have 15 bucks to waste at
the doctors when its doing me no harm. I
have had this since I was a teenager.

Dear aqua,
many women experience discharge from their
nipples, and is usually normal. Unless
you notice that the discharge is sticky,
or contains traces of blood then there
shouldn't be any reason to worry about it.
Another reason for concern is if it is
only coming from one nipple and not the
other. Normal nipple discharge occurs a
lot in very small children, teenagers,
pregnant women and women going through
menopause.
