Clear sticky nipple discharge - Cancer: Breast Message Board

Hello,

I know I def. should see my ob/gyn about this, she usually just sends me straight for an ultrasound for any breast complaints. But until then I would like to ask if this could be a sign of cancer? I looked down at one of my breasts and noticed a a little bit of clear fluid coming out, when I lifted it to take a closer look, more came out, it is clear and a bit sticky, I am worried, I have never been pregnant or had sex, I am 32, I had one ultrasound for this little lumpy thing once. I don't have insurance, so I have to go throught this hospital aid process, until then I am not sure how bad or not so bad this is? Thanks in advance for any info that can be provided.

Hey there, I have discharge and have had it for awhile (monthly). Anyway it is likley to be an infection in a gland or duct. I have been given antibiotics but they have not worked. I am going to see a breast surgen to have a biopsy. I would not worry because what I have read is that it is most liikley not cancer and it just needs to get taken care of. I did a search on the web of nipple discharge and got a lot of information. Give in a try. Good Luck and most of all God Bless.

Hello Laura,

Thanks for your reply. I have been doing the web search thing, also and I wasn't so worried, until it changed color...It is now yellow and just today, I have a blood discharge, I don't know if it was because I was manipulating my breast, thinking it was just a cyst...but the doctor has ordered a blood test and ultrasound, but this was just when it was a clear fluid, I have to call back on Monday and tell her about the blood. After another web search about a blood discharge, it doesn't look too good...God willing, we will both be okay. To paraphrase a poet, May God's peace and blessings drop like blossoms and surround you.

I went through the ultrasound yesterday, for some reason it was really painful. Called the doctor today and said that if it was anything serious the radiologist would have paged her. Thank God. I was really worried after I saw blood, but it turns out if might just be a cyst and hormonally...my periods need to be regulated. My internet search really just put up some red flags for a bloody nipple discharge...everything seems to be okay, Thank God. I wish everyone God's blessings, good health and a speedy recovery.

Update:

I found that the Luvox I am on for OCD and depression causes nipple discharge, I just thought I would let anyone know who may be taking Luvox. Or maybe to talk to your doctor about this and similar medications.
