A large percentage of women have discharge, especially when nipples are squeezed.Try not to squeeze the nipples so the discharge will stop.
Most nipple discharges are caused by benign conditions, such as duct ectasia or benign papillomas, and are more frequent in young women. Duct ectasia could be a primary inflammation in the ducts. Ectasia can cause discharge that is green, brown or white. It can be watery or thick. Unless the discharge is heavy and causes staining of the clothing, it is usually left alone. Surgery can be done to remove the dilated or infected duct(s). Duct ectasia is benign with no known relationship to cancer
A small amount of green discharge may be nothing to worry about,especially because in your case it's bilateral.
Most of these benign nipple discharges do not require a biopsy but they do require a medical examination.
Take care...
