Have Nipple Discharge. MRI Is Fine. Have Dense Breast Tissue. No Breast Cancer In My Family. Problem?
Noticed slight nipple discharge and it could have happened 1 mos ago. Last 3d mamo normal nov 2012
In 2011 normal mamo done which was followed by MRI which was fine. I am a little paranoid due to my dense breast tissue. I have never had a cancer diagnosis and no breast cancer in my family. I have an appt next week but i want to know if I should be this concerned

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
The normal structure of different person varies and also from person to person.
The normal structure of your breast tissue is dense ,so why worry ? .
Since you are very anxious and in tense .
In my opinion don't take any tension as all M R I and mammography are normal so be sure that your are a perfect normal female without any breast disease.
As for discharge from nipple this is also a most common feature due certain hormones.
So enjoy life .

Dear Ma'am,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Dense breasts can pose problems in early detection of breast cancer but it can be overcome by regular breast cancer screening, which you are undergoing.
Nipple discharge can be normal or scary depending on the colour, amount and whether it is associated with a breast lump or not. What is the nature of your nipple discharge?
You should visit your doctor and get a regular screening done.
Hoping for the best. Please feel free to clarify any other query.
