Hi,

You should not worry about the nipple discharge too much. It is alright if it is coming from one breast only and not both.

A nipple discharge is significant and needs to be investigated further if it -
- is persistent,
- comes out without squeezing the breasts or any stimulation,
- is bloody or foul smelling or altered,
- is associated with a lump, nipple or skin changes etc.

Have you noticed any abnormal features on breast self examination like a breast lump, nipple discharge , skin changes etc?

You could consult your doctor for a clinical breast examination to clear out any doubts that you have.

Do let us know if you have any more doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
