Breast Leakage

Iv'e read the response about the liquid that comes from the breast. But my question is both of my nipples has a clear discharge, it's not sticky, but like water, their is no kind of smell or anything. It only comes out when you squeeze it.I just had a mammogram done , in sept. they said everything was good. My doc. said it may be the over the counter estrogen that has soy an blackcosh. I'm 42 yrs.old an had a complete hysterectomy. I've been taking estroven for about 6-7yrs. She told me to stop taking for a while to see if it will stop.  What could be the cause ? She also says if it doesn't improve she would send me to a breast doc. The problem has been going on for about 6months .

Hi there.

The most common cause of this is still that of hormonal reaction of the breast tissues, and your exogenous estrogen intake may play a role in these manifestations.

I believe that this may not be of anything significant especially if the mammograms and other tests are normal, however you should be on the look out of other problems such as superimposed bacterial infection causing foul smelling discharge or formation of lumps or breast nodules.

For now observation may be the only course of action warranted.

Regards.
