Nipple discharge

by connies65, Aug 05, 2008 12:02AM
Just had a ductogram & ultrasound for bloody nipple discharge and preliminary report says everything is normal. Bloody discharge is still there. Radiologist says I could consider a breast MRI. Is this something I should consider or is it enough to have a normal ductogram and ultrasound?

Hi there.
The cause of your bloody nipple discharge needs to be investigated further.  Both benign and malignant conditions can cause such symptom, especially if this occurs only on one breast.  Examples of benign condition include fibrocystic disease, intraductal papilloma, galactocele, and mastitis.  Examples of malignant condition include breast carcinoma, fibrosarcoma, and Paget’s disease of the nipple.  A breast MRI can be helpful in elucidating the cause.  I would suggest a cytologic examination of the nipple discharge also.  
Good luck.
