What Causes Clear Oily Discharge From Breast?

default
Posted on Fri, 24 Oct 2014
Question: Today my bra and shirt became soaked through with what seemed like an oily clear discharge from my right breast. It seems warm too. I am on the second day of my period so I don't know what this could be. I'm on no medication of any type.

Please, monitor for recurrence first!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this incident that you have reported and all the disturbing thoughts that this has caused you. I have reviewed the information fully and have not found enough reasons to get much concerned about this right now. My advice would be that you monitor this observation a little longer to see if it would persist. Should this be the case, then I will suggest that you get the breast examined. For now, I am of the opinion that it is linked with hormonal changes in your cycle and has no further implications as to an ongoing disease or disease process.

In all, not suggestive of a disease or ongoing disease information at this time unless more symptoms set in. Stay calm and monitor if the symptoms would recur and if not, there is no more reason to get worried.

I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
