i am 32 years old and my youngest is 7. Recently i have noticed my left breast leaking my period has become really heavy i have been suffering with a lot of head ache lately and sometimes it makes me sick. i'm not using any pill nor i'm i on any medication, my doctor has done blood test only 1s my blood test showed high cholesterol, anemic and abnormal in my thyroid level. but was retested after 3 month and came back normal only my thyroid was at border line.
But my left breast is still leaking


This discussion is related to Leaking fluid from my left nipple and chest pain.

Sounds like it could be a pituitary tumor. My sister in law had similar symptoms and that's what she was diagnosed with. I would see a professional. Praying all is well.

Hi,
Nipple discharge is normal and very common when the breasts are squeezed and it's rarely a sign of breast cancer.Take care to avoid nipple stimulation( including frequent checks for discharge) because it can actually make the discharge persist.If you stop squeezing the nipple,most probably the discharge will also stop.
When to be alarmed about nipple discharge,is when it happens only on one side,comes out spontaneously( without squeezing) has a sticky clear consistency,the discharge is from only one opening in one nipple,is persistent,or is bloody or is associated with a lump, nipple or skin changes etc...
If you are worried,a professional evaluation would be advisable especially because a sluggish thyroid can result in producing high prolactin level causing nipple discharge.
All the best..
