Green discharge - Cancer: Breast Message Board

I have been having a green discharge from my left breast. Now both of my nipples are hard and sore. It feels like the size of a marble behind the nipple. I went to the doctor who examined me and said it may be the beginning of mastitis. He didn't seem too concerned. Everything I look up on mastitis talks about breast feeding. I'm 43 and had my last child 12 years ago.
This is not the first time I've had this. I had mastitis in my left breast a little over a year ago. I have a mammogram scheduled for 2/22. I'm just worried that this is something more than mastitis since it keeps happening and is now in both breasts.

Green discharge indicates an infection. I would ask the doctor for antibiotics.

It is not uncommon to have green discharge with an infection. The color to be worried about is Bloody/Black and once in a while even clear. You need to see a doctor and let him/her make the call.

The left breast is actually better but I can't tell any difference in the right. It is still extremely hard behind the nipple. Hopefully, the antibiotics are working. Just finished them. I have an appointment with my doctor on 2/5. If not better then maybe he can figure something else out.
