nipple discharge

by fox222, Feb 07, 2006 12:00AM
Hello. I am a 21 year old male who has been experencing some spontaneous clear nipple discharge in the right breast. Sometimes I feel an odd sensation in my nipple but don't see any wet spot. Other times I'm pretty I do. If this isn't cancer, then what could it be? I don't have any reletives that have had cancer. I did have gynoecomastitia in my left breast 2 years ago and got the lump removed. I'm really scared and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dear fox222:  It is not uncommon for both men and women to have some milky breast discharge during puberty.  Outside of puberty, nipple discharge in a man should be further investigated.  We would recommend that you make an appointment with your doctor.

Hi, I am 54 years old and I have a green discharge from my left breast every now and then.  I have been to the doctor and they said not to worry, because it is not there all the time.  I was just wordering if I need to keep going back to the doctor every time this shows up, because by the time I get a appointment this is gone.
