: I have had black nipple discharge from one duct on the left nipple only. I am 32 y/o and on Premarin1.25 mg x 6 mos for a complete hysterectomy due to large hemmorhagic ovarian masses. The nipple smear showed foam cells and my doctor wants me to see a surgeon next week. Can anyone tell me what foam cells are and are they significant. Why would i need to see a surgeon
: thanks

Hi Darcia..I am 30 years old..I also have had this same discharge from one of my nipple ducts for the last two years..I have been able to push aside concerns about it until now..I will be getting it checked out..Please let me know what you find out..thnx!!
