Oh, I guess I should mention that when in my late 20's, I had nipple discharge.  Kind of yellow/white in color.  I was checked for a tumor in my pituitary gland as that is a common cause but didn't have one.  For me, it was a hormonal imbalance.  I produced too much estrogen.

What makes me concerned about infection for you is the greenish color.

Yes, it is always good to see your Doctor. I am 24 and I am have this same nipple discharge from both sides. I have like milk leaking.  I had a mamo and an Ultrasound done all normal results.  Now waiting for the last 4 months to see a specialist to find out the cause for these unwanted discharge.  My prolactin is HIGH 27.9. That is high my doctor said.  You please Make an appointment tomorrow or as soon as possible and see your doctor.  IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.

Please take care and let us know how you are doing.

Hi there.  Well, the yellow/green is concerning and that coloring is often associated with an infection of some sort.  I would see your doctor.

Sorry about your abnormal mammogram.  I've had one of those as well and it is quite scary.  

Get this checked out but would suspect it is some type of milk duct infection.  good luck
