I only joined this forum tonight, and I'm not sure I know what I'm doing in posting a response.  I think you got it, but I also responded to several other people on this site, and I want to give you (and them) my email address.  It's

There is no longer a question here.  If your leg were bleeding, you would go to a doctor, right?  If your back were bleeding, if your feet were bleeding, etc...
The reason you're asking about whether or not you NEED to go is that you're kinda scared to go.  Take it from somebody who's been through what you're scared of, I don't care what the percentages are, GO TO A DOCTOR.  If 90% are good to go, great.  Who makes up the other 10%?  GO

I would definitely still go and get it checked out as what is a little exam or two to put your mind at rest, or catch anything early that needs looking at.  It won't hurt to do so.  Let me know what you decide.

[ruthsmom23]

it does it on its own and its mostly blood that is coming out seems like its stopping now which makes me feel alittle better. thanks for your input .

I have just had some brown/red discharge from my nipple when squeezed.  I was absolutely petrified but forced myself to go straight to the doctors.  From what I read 90% of nipple discharge (of any colour) is from benign breast conditions.  How long have you had the discharge, and is it coming out when squeezed, or on it's own?

[Cleveland Clinic]

Dear Ruthsmom23, Nipple discharge is most often from benign conditions. Some women are more prone to more discharge including women on; birth control pills, certain blood pressure medications or on major tranquilizers. These medications increase prolactin levels in the body. There is also certain life periods when a person is more likely to get discharge than others: there may be more discharge at puberty and at menopause than the years in-between.   However, bloody discharge could be a symptom of something more serious.   You may want to make sure to discuss this with your doctor who can ask questions and evaluate as necessary.
