Infection??

by Mary155, Mar 11, 2008 02:18PM
I have noticed that since I had my fourth child in July of last year, I have white pimples (almost like little white lumps) around the nipple area. If I squeeze them a paste like substance comes out. I also have a white pasty substance coming out of the nipple area. I did not have this problem until after I had my last child and I had a tubal done. I am wondering if  this could be an infection and if it is serious. Again, I did not have this problem until after I had a tubal done. I also have periods that last sometimes up to 15 days. Something just does not seem normal anymore. Help!

Hi,

A little amount of nipple discharge is common after breast stimulation as happens in case of a breast self examination.

Do you notice any other abnormal features on breast self examination like a lump or any skin changes?

You need not panic as a little pain, tenderness and lumpiness is common due to hormonal fluctuations at the time of a menstrual cycle.

You could schedule an appointment with your doctor and get a proper clinical evaluation done and also ask him/her whether a mammogram or ultrasound would be required. Also get a hormonal levels done and see an OBG for your cycles.

Let us know if you have any other doubts and also keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
