breast discharge

Hi,
I am a 27 male and have had gynecomastia off and on for a couple years due to bodybuilding medications (which I gave up 2 years ago).  Although the gynecomastia has largely subsided, there are still lumps bilaterally around the areola, not under.  A mammogram proved negative a year ago, and my current physician says to not be concerned as there is "barely anything left."  I sought a surgeon as well and he said to let it go too. (I was sort of concerned as the left side can be a little tender when my cat steps on me) Now that you have the history the question is;.....
yesterday I realized that if I squeeze both nipples real hard (ouch!), I get very tiny droplets of clear liquid on multiple spots on each nipple.  Slight squeezes produce nothing, nor is there any spontaneous discharge I am aware of (my doctor seemed to just tell me yesterday just not to do it, don't worry).  Does the "not to squeeze" principle previously posted in the forum apply to men as well?  Are there little glands that I could be breaking close to the skin causing this?  Thanks

Dear ajl555:  In the female breast there are ducts and sebacceous glands that open on the nipple.  Sebacceous glands produce a cheesy white, or oily substance.  It is like the body's natural lubricant. It is likely that, since you squeezed so hard, you extracted a small amount of this oil.  This is not an indication of cancer.  I think your doctor is right - you should not squeeze your nipples.
