Hi,
Bloody discharge from the nipple is never normal,particularly when it's bloody and unilateral.It can be associated with many different conditions,most often it could be an intraductal papilloma which is a noncancerous tumor.
Also,the bleeding can happen from inflammation in the ducts, reaction to drugs, dilatation of the mammary ducts (duct ectasia), and less commonly a cancerous tumor.The bloody discharge must be examined under the microscope(called cytological examination) for a diagnosis.So please be sure to see your doctor who will examine you, evaluate and treat your condition based on the findings.Cytology is definitely recommended when the discharge from the nipple is bloody.
Congratulations on the birth of your baby and wishing you all the best...
