Hi I recent noticed I have a clear oily discharge coming out of my right breast should I be worried and go get it checked out? I took the emergency contraceptive pill about a month ago could that be the reason? And my period recently lasted about almost 2 weeks and it was very lite when in reality I usually have a heavy flow.. I need advice please I'm worried!

Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Clear oily discharge from breast can be due to the hormonal imbalance caused by frequent emergency contraceptives pills. This will go away on its own as no treatment is required for the hormonal imbalance.
mammary duct ectasia causes inflammation and clogging of ducts beneath nipple with a thick, sticky substance.this must be ruled out.Intraductal papilloma may also arise in a milk duct near your nipple.

thyroid and pituitary tests may be done to rule out their disease.you must get yourself examined if the discharge continues.
hope this helps.take care!
