Clear Oily Discharge From Nipple And Breast Tenderness. History Of PCOS. What Could This Mean?
I'm 22 years old and have a 3 year old son, and I have always assumed that my left breast never quit lactating because I could always self express white liquid out. Well here lately what is coming out of my left breast is clear oily fluid with a little bit of thick white fluid. I also have been having breast tenderness, my and my husband have been trying for almost 9 months to get pregnant but every test I take is negative my Dr also thinks I have PCOS because I don't have a period regularly currently I'm over 3 months without one. Anyway what could be the cause of my nipple discharge?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The clear and oily discharge from the nipple can be due to PCOD or elevated levels of prolactin, hormonal imbalance or frequent breast stimulation. Proper investigations are needed to find the cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
