What Causes Blood Discharge From Nipple?
Question: blood coming out of my nipple
Brief Answer:
needs clinical examination
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Blood discharge from nipple at your age could be a sign of breast cancer or duct ectasia (a benign, usually self limiting condition).
But to differentiate between the two, a clinical examination is a must, and maybe cytological examination of the discharge might also be warranted. And so will be a mammogram.
So i would suggest that you show it to a surgon for a complete clinical evaluation to help reach a diagnosis and subsequent management.
Hope i have been helpful.
