What Causes Green Discharge From The Breasts?

I noticed today that I am leaking what seems to be colostrum from both breasts when squeezed. I am on my menstral and the fluid on the left is almost green in color and more of it comes out than the right, the right side is more of a cream color. Is this normal?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Usually greenish discharge from the nipples can be seen in cases of mammary duct ectasia but other possible causes of breast discharge are mastitis that is breast infection or lumps in the breast etc. So, better to consult your gynecologist once get examined and also go for investigations like sonomammography and estimation of blood levels of serum prolactin with this workup the possible cause of your problem can be identified and treatment can be taken accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
