Breast leakage from one nipple

I am 29 yo and have been leaking a clear fluid from my right nipple,(for about 2 yrs now) my labs came back fine for thyroid and prolactin, I just had an ultrasound and mammogram done and the radiologist said that because of my age, my breasts are more dense and it is harder to find the source of the problem, and told me to come back in 6 mos.  The fluid comes from more than 1 duct so he said he's not too concerned.  I have 3 children therefore I am worried that he's not concerned enough. It does leak spontaneously and when squeezed, not a whole lot though.  I want to know what my other options are!!! I appreciate any info.

have you gone to your gyn and did they do a slide of your discharge?  If not that would be my next route to take. It may be a backed up duct in your breast.

It could be a number of things.  My guess is a backed up duct or two.  I would go to my gyno.  They are usually more concerned and a lot more helpfull than anyone else. In my experience that is.

Did you maybe breastfeed your children?  I know for me, I breast fed my children and I still can get "milk" out.  I guess that is what it is???  I breast fed my oldest for 20 months, my second for about 14 months.  My oldest is 7 and my youngest is 3.  You would think my milk would have dried up by now.  I assume that is what mine is.  It has never worried me nor have I thought too much about it.  
If you haven't breast fed, I would difnitely go to my gyn and talk with him or her.  Go to a gyn doctor,  someone that specializes in women's health.  They know more of what is going on.  They deal with these issues daily.  
Hope to help!
