Hi,
Most nipple discharges are caused by benign conditions.
When nipples are squeezed,it increases the Prolactin hormone level and the more you squeeze the nipple the more the discharge will continue.So my advise to you is to stop pressing the nipples,so the discharge stops.
This fluid can be many colors... green, gray, white, brown, blue and black. The amounts of discharge vary with different women.
Women who are on birth control pills and some tranquilizers, produce more prolactin and may have more discharge.
When to be alarmed about discharge is when it happens only on one side, comes out spontaneously( without squeezing),is persistent, bloody or clear and sticky like egg white.
I can understand your anxiety,but I don't think that you should be worried about it,because most discharges are not indicative of something bad,particularly when the discharge is coming from both nipples..However,if you are too concerned, I think that it would be best to mention this discharge to your physician,just to be on the safe side.
Take care ...
