Guiaic Positive??

[angierob75]

Hi...I am guiaic(blood in breastmilk) positive in my breast.  I have had mammograms/ultrasound and both came back negative for malignant cancer cells.  I am not sure why I have blood in my breast.  I am not breastfeeding but did have a child 7months ago.  Could the mammogram/ultrasound be wrong...?  I am set up to see a surgeon tomorrow.

Thank you for your reply!  I did do an ultrasound/mammogram and it came back negative.  So I went to see a specialist and he told me that if my milk/blood doesn't come out spontaneously then I have nothing to worry about and so far it doesn't.  So I guess I just sit and observe!  Yet I still don't really have a diagnosis to why I am guiaic positive.

Hi there,
When nipple discharge is grossly bloody or persistently guaiac-positive further evaluation is indicated. Cytologic studies may help to differentiate between benign and malignant causes of abnormal secretion. A mammogram and ultrasound may be helpful in narrowing the cause. You should clarify your doubts with your doctor. A repeat evaluation and follow up will help.
Best wishes and regards!
